New Choons: JAWS - 'Friend Like You'

Straight off the back of supporting Swim Deep on their first headline tour in February, JAWS, B-Town's underdog band, are back with a new single, the sweetly titled Friend Like You. The opening riff glistens before the band kick in swimming deep (ha ha) in a pool of reverb. It's a very familiar song even on first listen, imagine U2's With Or Without You re-written in the hands of The Cure with the vocals of Bernard Sumner. 

A contemplative and rather optimistic song as frontman Connor Schofield asks in his signature drone "do you want to look back and say you did it well?". The single is taken from the band's soon to come EP Milkshake out on April 22nd which also features past singles Toucan Surf and Surround You but will be available individually on April 1st. The band have this week announced their first UK headline tour to be starting later this month so be sure to catch them before they do a Peace and blow up!
