Trail - City

Reviewed by Joel Hawkins

Described as an “Editors-esque song”, I was very excited to be given the chance to review ‘City’, a new single by the up and coming London based group, Trail. I am a huge fan of The Editors and their style of music so could not wait to see how the bands compare. ‘City’ is a good quality song with a haunting grooved bass line and melancholic rock riff, but just doesn’t seem to catch my attention. A well performed track but without the IT factor. It was like going on a date with a beautiful girl, perfect figure, stunning hair (and a great rack) but all she talked about was her pet cat “Ginger”. ‘City’ has a good ‘shell’ but without anything inside to make it that fantastic song. Trail has the potential to become a huge act, but it will almost certainly not be with this song. Definitely too early in their career to be compared to the likes of The Editors.
