Don't know if you've come into contact with The Brute Chorus before but they are a rather fine Rockabilly style party rock band based all the way down in east London. I fully respect there decision to record their debut album live in front of a proper audience....that must take nerves (and balls) of solid diamond encrusted steel that. 'Could This Be Love?' is the first single from the second album 'How The Caged Bird Sings' which will be out sometime soon. It's a dramatic little rockabilly number indeed. Again, as with their first album they've made every effort to ensure that the recording sounds lively and inclusive which I'm all for. B-side 'Everybody Knows My Name' could only be described as a mini ditty or, at best, a poetic couplet dressed in a bit music. That's not meant to be dismissive though...it's still a tasty, if rather short little tune.
The Brute Chorus announce the release of their next single Could This Be Love? on the 26th April. Recorded in freezing conditions in a remote village hall in the Lake District this January, it is the first single to be released from their second album How The Caged Bird Sings due end of May and hot on the heels of the Brute’s live and eponymous debut released in October 2009. An imposing slab of beat poetry set to a galloping rockabilly rumble, the song is related from the point of view of a man who, in his mind, is on his way to meet his girlfriend as his body races through the night in an ambulance and his spirit is called to the light. The seeds of the song were sewn during a dawn trip to the A&E department of Lewisham hospital after drummer Matt Day was assaulted on the way home from a party. Months later the song was set to music and fast became a live favourite among fans of the band who attended their shows during their tours last year. The single will be released on ltd edition 7” and on-line by East London indie label Tape, the Brute’s home since the end of 2009
