“A racing, energy-fuelled blast of funk-rock…” – Gigslutz
The video premiered on Gigslutz and you can also watch it via Tanners Pool’s YouTube channel now.
You can buy Out Of Line via the band’s website and stream tracks Plastic Wings and Bad Advice via theirSoundcloud page.
In keeping with the EP’s title, the record explores themes of going against the grain rather than following the mainstream trends we are force-fed and ultimately drawn to in life, instead promoting idea of individuality and following ones own path. Opening track Bad Advice kicks off with Jess Ashdale’s thrashing distorted guitar, which mirrors contemporary acts such as the Arctic Monkeys’ punchy, electrifying sound. While on I’m Long Gone the band click into a funk rock groove akin to the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, as Jess steals the show with an expertly delivered wah-wah pedal affected guitar solo. The band reverts back to their rock ’n’ roll roots inNothing and Nobody and Plastic Wings; both tracks filled with fuzzy guitar riffs and pounding drums throughout. Each track on Out of Line offers something different as you work through the EP, as Tanners Pool impressively traverse the line between indie rock, funk and classic rock sounds of days gone by.
Tanners Pool formed in Oxford in late 2015 after joint songwriting duo Matt Ashdale (vocals, guitar) and Jess (lead guitar, backing vocals) had been playing and writing together for a number of years. Having begun practising with Seth Roberts (bass) for a few months, they enrolled old school friend Shoji Maeno (drums) who was keen to get involved after seeing the band perform their debut show. The rest, as they say, is history. Now with a debut EP on the horizon, a music video in the works and live dates to follow, Tanners Pool are excited to take the next steps on their journey as a band together.
Out of Line by Tanners Pool is out now via Alt/Logic and is available to buy on iTunes and stream onSpotify.
