Track Assessment: THE SSYNDROME – Good Boy

THE SSYNDROME made their debut late final 12 months, rising in an period flush with rock bands. Simply this 12 months alone, it seems like I’m writing a few rock act each week — and that’s not even together with all of the rock-influenced comebacks from idol teams. Korea is admittedly into guitars in the meanwhile.

This isn’t a foul factor, however whereas I get pleasure from rock music it often takes one thing distinctive or ear-catching to completely make investments me within the sound. That may be a melodic characteristic or the addition of some surprising instrumental texture. THE SSYNDROME’s configuration is basic, missing an ear-catching component that may set them aside from different bands. Nevertheless, the vocal efficiency is robust and Good Boy boasts a catchy refrain that jogs my memory of a hook we would have heard in Ok-pop’s first technology, when rock bands had been all the fad. The instrumental crackles with vitality, chugging together with full depth because the music unfurls. These two elements mix to forge an efficient comeback. I’m unsure if I’ll nonetheless keep in mind it in a 12 months’s time, however Good Boy checks all of the packing containers it must and factors towards a promising future for THE SSYNDROME.
