The Calm Fiasco release ‘The Fear’ EP!
“Sharp-edged guitar riffery collides with
anthemic songwriting, with just a slight
hint of something darker. " - Clash
"...a perfect slice of hooky indie-rock..." - A Music Blog Yea?
“…buzzes with raw riffs and infectious hooks…" - Gigslutz
The Calm Fiasco are delighted to announce the release of their EP The Fear out now via Chewy Records and available to stream on Spotify and buy on iTunes.
It's been a busy period for the band with their video for single Sorry I'm Late Again premiering on A Music Blog Yea?, with the full EP being unveiled exclusively on Clash Magazine's website, rounding off a successful few months for the Glaswegian four-piece.
First single release Just Don't Care Anymore premiered on Gigslutz and is available to stream on the band's Soundcloud page.
The Fear finds the band in scintillating form as they aim to build upon the success of their 2016 single Lose Control, which premiered on Clash Magazine. Managing to convey an in-your-face attitude while producing memorable hooks and choruses, The Calm Fiasco have created a record without losing the essence of an authentically raw, live performance. Taking inspiration from the angular, fuzzy riffs made famous by the likes of Television, and later The Strokes, allied to the contemporary indie-pop hooks of Two Door Cinema Club and Phoenix, The Fear is an impressive accomplishment achieved by a band who’s sound continues to progress with each and every release. This is apparent throughout the EP, full of tracks that wouldn’t sound out of place rocking the main stage of any summer festival. Driven bass lines are accented menacingly by swirling guitar pieces, effected vocals and catchy harmonies as The Calm Fiasco create a heady mix of indie, pop and rock with a Glaswegian twist.
Hailing from Glasgow and comprising Del Morin (lead vocals/guitar), Greg Totten (lead guitar/backing vocals), Harry Fleming (bass/backing vocals) and Andy McInnes (drums), the the band came together in 2012 after bonding over a shared love of music both past and present. Fast forward just a few years and they have already picked up a well of support from the likes of Clash Magazine, Little Indie Blogs, Gigslutz, Tenement TV, Amazing Radio, The Daily Record, The Sun and The Sunday Mail.
The Fear by The Calm Fiasco is out now via Chewy Records and available to stream on Spotify and buy on iTunes.
