And, 'Venom' cuts straight to the chase here with a memorable guitar and drum intro before the impassioned vocals interrupt proceedings and 'Venom' starts to unfold.
The Shermans sound relies quite a lot on short, concise guitar riffs and fills that nestle in amongst the vocals, unerringly side-by-side making a strong and punchy statement. Add to that the military-esque percussive work and stabbin' bass and you've got a sound with heart, soul and attitude. And so it's no surprise that The Shermans' new single 'Venom' is built on those very same foundations - a robust, at times almost quirky, backbeat that at times vies with the vocals for prominence but always manages to work out just fine.
Although they hail from Stirling in Scotland, The Shermans sound is as British as Blackpool Tower; retaining a jagged rawness of feel that suggests punk roots and having a real earthy heart The Shermans' pop-rock is as solid as it is viable. 'Venom', with it's catchy 'lah lahs' and infectious air-guitar-friendly riffs is a real solid worker and gets stronger with repeat plays - radio friendly and hard-driven, 'Venom', with good DJ exposure, could very well catch on!
The Shermans 'Venom' comes in two mixes here and is supported by 'You're Just Not Getting Enough'; more staccato guitars, more metronomic drums, more lethal bass and the same enthusiastic and typically British vocals. A great 'B' side and very much an equal to its bigger brother, 'Venom'. All-in-all a really good piece of commercial rockin' work from The Shermans - and 'lang may yer lum reek' I say!
