The Southern UK outfit continue to shine on just their third release.
Excellently-named and hotly-tipped post-punk outfit Saloon Dion have been making a name for themselves with their jagged and sharp-edged sound, and their third release ‘HEY HEY’ may just be their best so far.
Brimming with fun hooks and a marked self-assuredness and swagger, the outfit feel like they are really coming into their own, crafting an engaging niche for themselves in a massively crowded scene. With a sound that borrows aspects from the last four or five decades and a razor sharp modern edge and wit, the sky seems to be the limit for the London and Bristol based outfit.
“None of us can claim to be perfect, we are all capable of both good and bad,” explains the band’s singer and synth player Dave Sturgess. “I found it interesting when writing this song to think about where certain traits of mine came from. There have certainly been times when I’ve stood by people who didn’t necessarily deserve it, and vice versa. We all carry with us certain destructive behaviours that can be damaging to ourselves and those around us if unchecked.
“It also interests me how it can feel that the people we are closest too can be the ones who understand us the least. I wanted to try and reflect that feeling in this song.”
