SULK - Wishes

Warm summery optimism for the Britpop nuwave.

The first thing that comes to mind during the first few bars of ‘Wishes’, the debut single from London’s hot new trio SULK, is the clear Britpop influence, conjuring up thoughts of the warm summery optimism of the early 90’s.

A simple guitar line put together with effectively punchy and well played drums sets up the tranquil rhythm well and leaves plenty of room for singer Jonathan’s vocals to fill. And fill it they do, with a euphoric chorus that would make even the Gallagher brothers jealous.

When compared with other more recent outputs, such as Viva Brother, SULK offer far more than just personality. They actually have a debut interesting enough to be proud of.
