The Common Redstarts - Save It For Your Friends

a swaggering stomp

Single Review by Billy Hamilton | 14 Aug 2006
Label: Seeca
It can't be easy being The Common Redstarts. Billed as Edinburgh's most exciting new group, the pressure is beginning to mount on this zesty quartet. So, to a certain extent, new single Save It For Your Friends is pivotal in the band's development. Can the record capture the frantic energy of their live performances? Well, yes and no. Oozing confidence, it's a swaggering stomp that recalls the naivety of 'Definitely Maybe'-era Oasis but leaves the distinct impression the best is yet to come. Brimming with potential, here's hoping The Common Redstarts have just set foot on what could be a long and successful journey. [Billy Hamilton]
