Supertouch "Lost My Way"



Supertouch/Post-hardcore fans rejoice! Supertouch are back with this gem of a 7 inch and yeah, it rules.

I recieved a flyer for "Lost My Way" some months ago after ordering something from RevHQ and since then I've been waiting to rock this shit. The artwork alone had me wondering what the hell this would sound like.

The opening track "Lost My Way" introudces the band back into our ears with a dreamlike guitar line and tribal drumbeats. Classic Supertouch. The vocals distant and awash in distortion, drums pusling a jungle beat bigger than life guitars.

Tracks 2 and 3, "Just These Days" and "Get On, Get On" really pick up the tempo and the melody. Energetic and catchy rock.

The final track is the real winner though. "Now That You're Far From Home" brings together the best of the first 3 tracks and leaves you wanting more. It is an epic rocker about leaving home and forging your own way. Again, the chorus is catchy as all hell and the guitars accompany the vocals perfectly.

Pick up the record and try and catch them if you are fortunate enough to have them stop near your hometown.
