Gargantuan riffs, a punchy bass line, and an anthemic, defiant chorus that could possibly spark a youth rebellion across the planet? Check, check, check. The debut single, ‘No Retreat’, from upcoming alternative rock band Gorilla Punch Radio is a charismatic effort from the Leeds four-piece, a guitar centric, daring number. With ex-Titans Troubadours frontman Paul James on lead vocals and guitar, Gorilla Punch Radio fuses the swagger of Kasabian with the deafening sound and energy of Muse.
With oscillating verses and anthem-like lyrics fit for both youth revolts and potential stadium-wide sing-alongs, Gorilla Punch Radio have stormed onto the alternative rock scene with a mutinous sense of purpose and a tantalizingly dangerous sense of power. ‘No Retreat’ will be available from iTunes from 7th August.
