With their highly anticipated album Walk Among The Poppies set for release in September, Major Spark have released a showcase of what is to come from the rest of the project in the form of ‘The Other Side’, a propulsive new indie rock banger that packed full of driving hooks and indie rock charm.

There is a nostalgic glow to the sound and style of the track that evokes the spirit of a wide range of genres, with the melodic yet hard-edged vocals evoking the spirit of bands like Oasis and Blur while the whirring synths have an 80-tinged aesthetic to them throughout. The end result is a track that borrows from a wide range of influences, and that feels intrinsically modern and dynamic as a result, both hard-hitting and thoughtful, driving and considerate, meticulously crafted but giving off a rawness and grit that packs a hell of a punch.
