‘Cast Away’ is the third single from Sheffield quartet Liberty Ship. They’ve not been around long, but have already sold out the Leadmill, opened the main stage at Tramlines Festival and bagged themselves a slot opening for Milburn at their sold-out run at O2 Academy Sheffield. These are all major achievements.
‘Cast Away’ might sit way up at the top end of the Aural Aggro spectrum, but it’s a sprightly, uptempo, roustabout indie rock track with a bouncy blues-based style. Imagine The Black Keys but with the cocky Yorkshire attitude of Arctic Monkeys and you’re well on the way to having a handle on where Liberty Ship are coming from on ‘Cast Away’. They know how to carve a decent hook, too. A band on the up? No doubt about it.
