A breezy, lilting Lemonheads-esque refrain that would be a surefire chart hit if those places still existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of which, the band\u2019s first video and single from \u2018Glue\u2019 is \u2018BTK\u2019 which also sees Mercedes Lalakakis-Bee take over the microphone for the first time, and also has more than a hint of US college radio about it, but this time more in Breeders\/Pixies territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Daily Thompson - BTK (official video)\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Pyg0A-MDiQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise \u2018Work Out\u2019 and \u2018Fake A Smile\u2019 with Danny back on vocals both doff their trucker caps to Black Francis and Co, whilst of the album\u2019s remaining four tracks these range from the Nirvana fuzz pop of \u2018Here I Stand\u2019 and \u2018Lovebugs\u2019 to the more straight up hard rock of \u2018SIAM\u2019 (which also boasts a close vocal harmony akin to Alice In Chains) by way of the epic (Pearl) jam that is, the just shy of 8 minutes, \u2018Chains\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Released on August 21<sup>st<\/sup> on Noisolution Records whilst \u2018Glue\u2019 is (most probably) never about to sell in the same amounts that the likes of \u2018Nevermind\u2019, \u2018Ten\u2019 or \u2018Melon Collie\u2019 ever did, it\u2019s most certainly worth checking out even if just to give yourselves a break from the bland-ola \u201cclassic rock\u201d the mainstream music media is constantly pushing these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the band also gracing our shores for a series of six UK dates to promote the album in October starting in Bridgwater on the 12<sup>th<\/sup>, it\u2019s time to hit the links below to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order the album <a href=\"https:\/\/noisolution.lnk.to\/Glue\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dailythompson.band\">Facebook<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dailythompson1\">Daily Thompson (@dailythompson1) \/ X<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/dailythompson.bigcartel.com\/\">Daily Thompson<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/dailythompsonband.bandcamp.com\/music\">Music | Daily Thompson<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Johnny Hayward<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having been down something of a Seattle themed rabbit hole in my listening pleasures this past few weeks, when RPM head honcho Double Dee asked me if I fancied reviewing German Grunge trio Daily Thompson\u2019s soon to be released seventh studio album \u2018Glue\u2019 I was like \u201cpass me a Lucozade\u201d (think about it), and I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28848,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9124,1818,9125,306,1680,1833,2052],"class_list":["post-28847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-daily-thompson","tag-new-album","tag-noisolution-records","tag-prescription-pr","tag-rpmonline","tag-tourlife","tag-vinyl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28847"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28851,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28847\/revisions\/28851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
