Big Deal – Always Boys

The latest single from the pop-rock duo of Alice Costelloe and Kacey Underwood is very much what was expected form the pair.

The fast-paced guitars and ’90s alternative rock-esque drumming provided by a full band arrangement are the main building blocks for the atmosphere of this record. Layered over the top is the melancholy, dramatic vocal performance of Costelloe as she bemoans constantly falling for “boys that play guitar”.

Whilst not bringing anything new in particular to the genre Big Deal are accomplished proponents of this particular sound. (JA)
