It’s not for the cock, it’s for the local talent.
I Was A Cub Scout-’Our Smallest Adventures’
‘Our Smallest Adventures’ by Nottingham duo I Was A Cub Scout opens with organ tones alongside the soft, innocent voice of singer Todd Marriott which creates a haunting beginning. Drums, guitar and synth are added, one by one, evolving the track into a glorious emo-pop masterpiece. Marriott uses tender and delicate lyrics to talk about how the small, almost irrelevant events of our youth can be our most important and treasured. At its peak the song is a rich blend of sounds mixed with forceful vocals sounding like they’re sung from nowhere but the heart and not only justifies the increasing interest in this young band but shows them to have great promise. ‘Bless You’ provides a more than worthy b-side to the single and ponders over the uncertainty surrounding a break up. The track showcases the outstanding creative talent of drummer William Bowerman and is another triumph.
The single is out now.
The band will be touring the UK with Kill Hannah from September 19th.
