Turn Tail is the third song to come from The Young Knives most recent album Superabundance. The band are well reputed for their frantic punky tunes and geeky lyrics, so I was quite surprised that the band released this track.
Turn Tail is slightly less frantic than the bands previous offerings - but this doesn't necessarily make it bad. Sure, the song starts off a bit slowly, but it does build up into an earnest rock tune, with crashing drums and catchy lyrics a-plenty.
If you've been scared of The Young Knives music in the past, this might be a great place to start getting into them. Plus their bassists is called the House of Lords, which might possibly make them one of the most awesome bands ever by default.
What next?More by Young Knives? More reviews? More geek-rock, or post-punk, or indie?
