Hook & the Twin are a London duo from London Town and Race for the Bone is their debut single, hotly tipped by Steve Lamacq, it’s hard to believe they won’t go far.
As the song starts, it’s not long before we are introduced to a haunting guitar riff that sets hairs on end. Accompanied by an intensely tight rhythm section and some other worldly synthesizer sounds, this soon becomes a fast paced yet disquieting adventure. With plenty of builds and drops, you’re kept on your toes, albeit in a slightly predictable fashion and the lyrics, serving only as another means of making sound, could well be done without.

All in all though, this is a good debut and sees the band in good stead for exciting things in the future.
