“Alright Now” by Manchester rock band Little Strange is a gritty and electrifying anthem that bursts with raw energy and infectious fervor. Produced by Olly Davis and recorded in the unconventional setting of Davis’s home-turned-home-studio, the song encapsulates the band’s DIY spirit and commitment to their craft.
From the moment the gnarling and revving distorted guitar kicks in, accompanied by evocative riffs and thumping drums, you are swooned and then catapulted into a whirlwind of sound and emotion. The instrumentation sets a dynamic backdrop for Jamie Thompson’s commanding vocals, which exude attitude and snarls with devious, sexy energy.
Thompson delivers, “Nobody knows what I have seen/Nobody knows where I have been/And it’s alright now” oozing that defiance and resilience, echoing the spirit of bands like Arctic Monkeys while infusing Little Strange’s unique flavor.
With the release of “Alright Now,” Little Strange announces their debut EP, the Red Moon Rises EP, a Western-influenced concept record. Having returned from a two-year hiatus, Little Strange is making up for lost time. So with the EP release is also coming the band’s launch show at 33 Oldham Street on May 3 to remind you of the taste of their rock appeal and their live sound.
They are known to have headlined across the UK and shared the stage with indie heroes like The Coral and Everything Everything. Their previous releases have garnered widespread acclaim and airplay, earning support from BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 1, among others.
