Interestingly enough, I came across this Liverpool quartet (no not THAT Liverpool quartet) whilst searching for a Swedish metal band of the same name, purely by accident. Normally, when that happens, the result is rather disappointing. Scarlet's sound, thankfully, is about as far removed from the sound of the Swedish metal artist of the same name. Instead of dark brooding vocals over symphonic riffage, this Scarlet is a delightful romp through the world of 90s inspired, girl-power infused guitar-rock ala Avril, Elastica, Belly, and even some of the more pop-punk inspired groups of the double-oughts like Paramore, The Donnas, Dollyrots and Hey Monday. 

This is the kind of music you want blaring from the stereo on those Saturday afternoon drives through the countryside whilst heading to the big rock festival with three of your besties, convertible top down, wind whipping through your hair and not a damn care in the world outside of the moment, this moment. It's feel good rock anthems like these that the music world has been missing lately, what with all the moody, introspective indie-pop (thanks Billie) and politically charged protest-hop that seems to be all the rage these days. Don't get it twisted though, Scarlet can bring the brood when needed. Their earlier releases, 2016's "Effigy" and 2015's "Fishes" were a bit more on the dreamy indie-pop tip, with the occasional rawker thrown in to kick the mood up a notch, but if the direction of their first two singles of what we are hoping will be the "roaring 20's", especially after all this Covid garbage is gone away, is any indication of the road they are hoping to take us down, buckle me in!

Scarlet released their latest single, "Bring Me Down" on October 9th, mid-pandemic, as the perfect compliment to last single 'Friends', a tune released back in April, in lockdown, and dedicated to the NHS, the frontline heroes and everyone feeling alone in isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic to spread a message of hope and positivity which has received over 16K plays on Spotify alone since. "Bring Me Down" has all the makings of a big rock radio single if only the taste-makers controlled the music of that medium rather than an advertising-based algorithm, but I digress. 

UK publication, Exposed Magazine put the sentiment perfectly when they stated, "Frankly, the world needs more of this. Its been too long since shouty girl punk-rock with a pop edge and attitude has crashed face-first into weird atonal psychedelia before exploding back into the chorus and gained the attention of the wider world. Described as the north wests best kept secret." 

It truly has been too long. It's time to bring back the rock.
