[Spunk]
Lacquering their youthful, sunkissed power-pop jams with lyrical barbs that shoot straight for the heart, The Buoys’ sophomore EP would feel just as much at home roaring from the PAs at next year’s Splendour In The Grass (if there is one, what with Covid and Russia/Ukraine) as it would through a pair of AirPods during a casual quarter-life crisis. Zoe Catterall and Hilary Geddes’ yin-and-yang fretwork sears with a frisky, jangly grunt, contrasted wonderfully by Courtney Cunningham’s rounded and propulsive basslines. Teeming with energy even. To paraphrase reviewer Hayden Davies: “ If you’re not keeping up with the Buoys, you’re missing some brilliant punk rock.”
