single: silverfish

Adelaide quartet Red Apparition’s latest single “Silverfish” is a thundering burst of indie rock goodness. 

Rollicking guitars and crisp bass are anchored by thumping drumming interlaced with frontman Stuart Sanderson’s strong vocals. These lads certainly have a knack for catchy hooks and guitar driven rock, with Silverfish the perfect driving song.

The single also includes a cover of Portishead’s haunting “Roads”, which is ambitious in itself, but surprisingly isn’t butchered. Their version is more guitar based but doesn’t lose any of the eerie atmosphere of the original.

This two track single is a great insight into the talent Red Apparition possess and should satisfy until the local lads release an EP or fully fledged album.
