Listen: Thumpers – Unkinder (A Tougher Love) [Best Fit Premiere]
One of the UK’s most exciting guitar-wielding up-and-comers, Thumpers return with another indie-pop gem just in time for this elusive summer that is so desperately trying to emerge.
Implementing typically intuitive rhythm, the Warwickshire duo prove what a knack they have for producing massively uplifting, smile-inducing choruses that have the power to get you on your feet, thanks to another genuinely anthemic and intensely memorable refrain.
Complete with thick layers of voices, including sisterly assistance on backing vocals, the track continues to point a finger at the band as one of the likely saviours of the never-ending UK pop-rock saga. Sit still if you dare with this latest faultless effort from Thumpers.
‘Unkinder (A Tougher Love)’ is the first track from the band’s forthcoming EP Unkinder, due 3 June via Transgressive.
