David Delinquent and The I.O.U’s
Too Far Gone
The I.O.U’s third single because the Dundee Metropolis Rockers put together for an additional look at Rise up. Appropriately sufficient reviewed in the present day on Johnny Thunders birthday by Ged Babey.
Hooked after the primary three seconds…
The I.O.U’s are a correct ‘energy pop’ punk rock’n’roll band. Just like the Heartbreakers, the Replacements or first rate, early Inexperienced Day. Bands with bollocks but in addition harmonies and catchy songs.
David’s earlier band The Delinquents from whence he will get his nom de guerre launched Sober On Sunday EP in April 2019 and their album again in July 2017. He’s a pleasant bloke and as I mentioned earlier than reviewing the earlier I.O.U’s single ‘he could also be a delinquent at coronary heart however David is a dedicated and proficient songwriter and with the I.O.U’s backing him, they’re adequate to compete on a nationwide or worldwide degree.’
He requested what i considered the brand new track. ‘Too fuckin’ brief” I advised him. ‘Aye, however completely shaped’ he mentioned. And it’s. An ideal piece of rock’n’roll with a nod to Thunders, a flavour of early Manics and only a flawless summer-fun sound.
The soon-to-follow CD version consists of two songs recorded-live in Dundee the place the perfection is changed by a race to complete first vitality and uncooked vocal, however which captures the essence of a band having fun with what they do.
This isn’t one in all them, however from an earlier gig 6 months again or extra – a dwell model of Too Far Gone.
It’s about time some rich benefactor or label paid for some studio time so Delinquent and his band can document the improbable debut album they’re greater than able to, that we may play at most quantity as a substitute of our worn-out copies of LAMF, Era Terrorists and Dookie.
David Delinquent and The I.O.U’s are simply ready for a Svengali godfather to make them well-known and nick all their cash. Within the meantime they’re gonna proceed taking part in their punk hearts out at each action-packed, sweat-soaked gig they will get – together with the RIS Rise up Introducing Stage on the Thursday at 2pm.
