RAPIDS!

Top-heavy, math-rock leanings contrasted with an earnest vocal delivery give Bournemouth’s Rapids! a positive tension. Tight and energetic, the rhythm section at the heart of every jolt, bump and shake, while delayed guitars ride out the collisions and carry the songs to shelter. Stops, starts, bridges, breakdowns, and tasteful studio tweaks, Rapids! are smart in their detail and delivery. Despite the production polish, there’s a rawness. An honesty and vulnerability shown, with singer Matt unafraid to put himself on the line emotionally.
