White Belt Yellow Tag : 'Tell Your Friends (It All Worked Out)'

White Belt Yellow Tag : 'Tell Your Friends (It All Worked Out)'

 

Released: Out Now!!!

Label: Distiller Records

 

White Belt Yellow Tag (WBYT) is a rare treat. Rare in the sense that they sound like a multitude of other great indie rock bands – Idlewild, Ash, The Cure – yet still manage to stand out in the crowd. As their latest offering sings, maybe “underhand is how you describe it best...?”

Having said that, WBYT is made up from vocalist/sampler Craig Pilbin and guitarist, Justin Lockey – formerly of Yourcodenameis: milo, and on occasion, ex-Cooper Temple Clause(ian) Tom Bellamy joins when they play live. Seems they have all the makings of a great little group. And they do.

They’re alternative and indie, and ‘Tell Your Friends’ is a brooding, mechanical effort of fuzzy, woozy rock. Pilbin’s “easy now’s” are reminiscent of Matt Belamy’s screams in Muse’s Time is Running Out, and even if the track falls a little short in length (just 2 minutes 36 seconds) it makes up for it in kaleidoscopic guitars and plummeting melancholic melodies.
