Red Rum Club - Matador (2019)

If Red Rum Club’s debut was a dance, it would be a strong, defined and seductive pasodoble. Matador stamps down proud, a refreshing, lively twist of americana infused alt-rock, which would complement any bad-ass wild western film, as a soundtrack.

For a six-piece from Liverpool, their sound is so unexpected, yet exactly what’s needed to freshen things up; one way of which is the addition of a lone trumpet player- not the everyday rock ‘n’ roll instrument of choice.

You can practically picture being in a desert like western town, watching as the cowboys gallop along the rhythm section,fighting over lost loves, when ‘Angeline’ opens the album, who “left me blue for places greener”; a sore point for reflection it seems.
