Lyrical Genius // Daniel and the Scandals



A five man group from the UK, Daniel and the Scandals, are not afraid to speak their mind and more respectfully their emotions in a typically lighthearted 'indie' song. One that is upbeat, bright and foregrounds exactly what they are about; teenage love.
 
 
They are in-fact what I would like to call, lyrical genius's. Their newest and first single 'I Love You (there you go I said it)' sums up the whole narrative of the song in one sentence the subheading explains exactly what goes through the mind of a love struck teenager, boy or girl. The relief, and weight lifted off the shoulders once you express what is really on your mind: "you have been running round my brain, over and over and over again." every lyric is candid.

Not only does this upbeat song relate to any teenager it makes anyone and everyone want to get up and moving. The mixture of acoustic and bass along with electric guitar all thrown together with a consistent drum beat reminds me of established artists such as Two Door Cinema Club. A qwerky style that will definitely thrive in the 21st century, especially as live music is becoming much more appreciated. As well as sounding similar to Two Door, their look is also comparable. Primary colours have been taken over by the both of them and exploded their wardrobe and music video set.

These are an inspiration to the growing independent music scene, don't be afraid to express your emotions in a non-moany-drony presence. Be bright and loud!! Its a gift to these guys and they will one day be in the lime light.
