Milton Keynes-based act SIR-VERE delivers exciting sonic experimentation with their unique fusion of guitar-driven rock music and dance styles of acid house, techno, electro and breaks. Led by the voice of Craig Hammond, for a decade this group has been making an impact with their original sound and engaging songwriting.
SIR-VERE first made an appearance in 2014 with their debut record, TIMEBOMB, a sonic detonation that set the stage for their genre-breaking approach. Since then, the band’s been on an exhilarating musical adventure, serving up a range of singles, EPs, albums, remixes and remasters.
A significant evolution occurred last year when singer Ian McEwan joined the band, expanding the outfit to a four-piece ensemble. This addition marked a turning point, enabling SIR-VERE to dive even deeper into experimentation and bring to life a sound uniquely their own, refusing to be boxed into any single genre or style.
As 2023 drew to a close, the band celebrated another chapter in their musical journey with the release of the single “Destroya,” ahead of their forthcoming Lovescope album re-issue, et to drop later this month via Worldsound and Virgin Music Group. Opened by the patter of drums and playful groove of bass guitar, fuzzy electric guitar textures inject energy and a psychedelic vibe to the arrangement before making way for the vocals.
With a restrained swagger, they thread punchy leads in the verse before the song launches into an enthralling chorus brimming with the crunch of lively guitar rhythms and twang of lead flutters as split lead vocals serve up an instantly catchy call and response sound. It’s a superb display of their rock-focused sound, injected with a danceable twist.
The song reflects the turbulent times of lockdown, providing a sonic snapshot of the chaotic experiences during that period, capturing the restless energy and surreal atmosphere of those challenging days. “Destroya” delivers a truly memorable and entirely enjoyable slice of their original sound, while building the excitement for their upcoming record release.
