Firstborn Heroes – Hold On Me
With a swift 1,2,3,4, this song goes off like a rocket!
It tells the story of being messed about by the opposite sex (something we can probably all relate to at some stage of our lives) and being made to wait and hope.
The lyrics are fantastic with a real clever hook ‘You said soon enough, but soon enough’s not soon enough, You tell me to toughen up but I am just not tough enough’.
Musically the song has a real energetic vibe to it with a good old power chord structure played at rapid speed. Midway through and the solo shines through with panning used to great effect with the layered guitars harmonising from one ear to the next.
The sound Firstborn Heroes are creating here could probably be compared to a kind of Libertines/Green Day. Cross over so fans of said bands will have no problem stomping their feet or singing along to the catchy hooks.
To sum it all up, it’s a great simple little track perfect for blasting out on summer days sinking beers.
