Sonic Boom Six–Virus (digital format only –Xtra Mile)

The Boom are back after what seems like an eternity with a new label Xtra Mile (Frank Turner, Against Me, Riverboat Gamblers) and a slick video to promote the single.

The single is SB6 at their best, it’s the big bombastic sound that the band were experimenting with on some of the better tracks on City Of Thieves, but with a slightly more electronic influence. Laila still squeaks as only she can, but Barney’s rapping has taken on a new maturity and he can now rap with the best of them.

This single is superb, but sadly digital only, “what no vinyl you cry?” – yes really! Can’t wait to hear the album. 8/10
