Band: GUSH
Who: Fiery Belfast indies, who dropped their
ear-piercing 5-track debut EP Exposure Therapy
in 2024.
Track: TOLD U SO
Brand new single.
Chelsea (frontwoman): “‘Told U So really brings into focus what we’re all about
sonically, as a band and as musicians. The lyrics are a conversation between my own
self-loathing internal monologue and the more rational side of my mind, which is a pretty relentless ordeal.’
TUTV: Gush hit it out of the park again with this jet jackhammer. After a sparkly
Strokes-esque guitar intro, it’s all hands on deck when the thumping chorus blows
the Richter scale to pieces with wanton willpower. The band’s guitar/bass/drum artillery strikes again, yet fervent frontwoman Chelsea’s vocals somehow cut through the voltaic bedlam.
She’s a fan of legendary voices Shirley Manson and Chrissie Hynde. She told us so. But here it sounds more like Chelsea lets PJ Harvey – another authentic rock heroine – take charge and inject this belter with resolute poignancy.
“Never wanna know
How the story goes
Don’t show your face around here again
By the way it shows
The way your feelings grow
You gotta earn your place around here my friend
You don’t have to look it in the eye
If you don’t chase it it’ll disappear
Never wanna know
Cause I told you so”
