Song of the Day - Suns of Praise

Today's song of the day comes from California based indie-rock band Bad Suns. Their debut EP, Transpose, has recently been released and hasn't charted but has received attention from music blogs and other internet outlets. They are supporting The 1975 in their US tour - so they are no mugs.

Although they are not a hugely popular band, their music, I believe, stands up for itself. Here is the title track off of their EP, Transpose:

So What's So Good?

Inspired by British rock music of the 80's and 90's, Bad Suns play rock music with an indie twist. Driving drums and unique guitar hooks characterise the verses of these songs. The instrumental that comes as a middle eight is hardly typical of a proper rock song, but it's interesting enough. 

Vocally, the song is very solid, with the catchy backing vocals adding depth to the music and Christo Bowman's voice ranges from indie-pop to a proper rock and roll at times. 

Transpose is a song that is enchanting and interesting, reminiscent of 90's rock but with shades of modern indie bands like The 1975, making for a curious listening experience.
