Pancake Eating Freaks - Take Me Away 0
The Freaks went back to the studio to record another new song last Friday (2nd May) - they only wrote it a couple of weeks before, but liked it so much that they straight away decided to book into The Old Blacksmiths Studios to record it for their forthcoming album (Aaron just told me).
Having listened to it, I can understand why - it absolutely f***ing rocks!
Seriously, it’s brilliant! Yeah, I’m biased, but I would like this song even if it wasn’t by them….it’s really catchy (if you like the cheerful pop-punk sound).
I keep saying to them that their songs are getting better each time they write a new one, but this one has just raised the bar by about six feet. Their playing has always been tight (well, not always - I have some early footage that I could show you!), but the vocals are miles better than before, and Tom’s guitar solo….well, it is the first of it’s kind on a Pancake Eating Freaks song - overdubs, harmonies and everything!
It’s absolutely top bollocks! I’m really excited about it. I think everyone is agreed that we gotta make a video for this one…
I am currently slaving away doing their artwork (just tidying, they designed it all) for the album, and this has given me renewed impetus to get my arse in gear!
