Coming out of South London, the alternative rock outfit Call To The Void is formed by John McGlade on guitar, Glen Bartholomew on drums, bassist John Settle and vocalist Jack Osborne. With a commitment to crafting a cutting edge modern sound that pays homage to their influences and experiences, the band has been quick to make an impact in the music scene.
After spending a year refining their sound, they made their entrance in May last year with their debut single titled “Uncontrollable.” Founded on a blend of hypnotic vocals, upbeat riffs and a distinctive British garage rock sound, “Uncontrollable” showcased the band’s musical output and laid the foundation for their unique sonic journey.
Their self-produced debut offered a punchy collision of elements, creating a memorable that struck a chord with audiences and established Call To The Void’s distinctive musical identity. Now they’ve made an explosive start to 2024 with the release of their brand new sophomore single “Blow.” With a fiercely rhythmic hard rock sound with echoes of iconic influences such as The Cult, Black Sabbath, Phil Anselmo and Jim Morrison, “Blow” catapults the listener into a sonic world of raw energy and commanding musicality.
Opened by the crunch of a distant guitar riff, the full band sound launches with pulsing bass lines, gritty guitars and punching drums. Jack Osborne’s vocalisations glide in as the arrangement dies down to grooving bass guitar over the snap of drums.
Threading moody melodic leads carrying storytelling lyricism, the track builds up to an anthemic chorus driven by fuzzy guitar textures and commanding vocal swagger. “Blow” represents the darkest and most powerful sound from Call To The Void to date, while the writing distils a provocative tale of inner conflict and hedonism, wrapped up in their compelling rock sound.
Packed full of attitude, energising rhythm and slick musicianship, the band’s second single sees them go from strength to strength and set up another exciting year for this band on the rise. As they kick off the new year with an emphatic release, we can’t wait to see what else they’ve got in store for 2024 and beyond.
