Eat your dissonantly superficial heart out to Red Wine Talk’s latest single, Anti-Romance

With an opening lyric as strong as “I don’t need to tattoo your name on my arm, you’re already under my skin”, we were immediately hooked on Red Wine Talk’s latest single, Anti-Romance, which aired after the 9-month hiatus they clearly used to mature their indie rock sound to the nth degree.

Far from your average boy meets girl cliché-fest, Anti-Romance affixes its lyrical lens on the wanton disregard with which we throw away the latest object of affection before searching for another; between the lines underpinning the irony of fawning over Hollywood and pop lyric romances.

I just hope that the cognitive dissonance of the quick sex aficionados out there can fully appreciate this reservedly poignant antithetic ode to love (or lack thereof) in our modern age. The instrumental minimalism truly stands as a testament to the power of the songwriting by this UK outfit headed by vocalist and guitarist Edward Brookes.

The official music video for Anti-Romance will premiere on September 9th. Catch it on Vimeo.

Where Do We Go From Here: Passionate Norwich band Red Wine Talk are quite superb on ‘What A Shame’

Taken from their recently released fourteen-track album ‘The Beauty and Elegance of Drinking Alone‘, Red Wine Talk rip the door down onto the dusty floor and pour us a glass of goodness, with a tremendous performance which shows that the hype is justifiably real on ‘What A Shame‘.

Red Wine Talk is a thrilling five-piece Norwich-based indie alt rock/pop band. They made a raw blend of riveting music creation for the soul to co-exist with, that seems to happily galvanize you into a totally different perspective than before.

With lyrics which boast an air of youthful optimism marred with undertones of morbid post-teenage angst, balanced over infectious riffs and sung with the pent up emotion of a damaged frontman.” ~ Red Wine Talk

This is a vocalist who has clearly got talent oozing skillfully from his hungry veins, as his superb voice has you in a really engaged mood. Backed up by a magnificent band who make that wonderfully groovy vibration that has a stimulating soundscape you want to jump onto, this is a local act that sizzle through the liquefied speakers just right.

What A Shame‘ from the exciting Norwich-based indie rock/pop act Red Wine Talk, is the real message of feeling that the world is such a wasted space right now. The lies have caught up and self-aware people can see through the fake smoke, as they wonder where we will actually go from here.

Performed with that extra motivated edge from a band who have never given up their dreams despite the world closing for a while, you sense that they are only just getting started.

Hear this catchy track on Spotify and see more of their growing career on IG.
