THE CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY MAGAZINE REVIEWS OUR EP '15 DEGREES FROM REALITY':

This is a cracker of an EP from four piece indie rock band Derecho who have a star up front on vocals in Jo Ash, part Debbie Harry part Kate Bush with possibly a touch of Toyah and Lene Lovich for good measure, I have seen them live twice at local music festivals and they have always been a highlight.

All four tracks quite different and first up ‘Autumn In Amber’ has that overall Blondie feel, an incessant, hypnotic driving beat and catchy chorus followed by the slightly heavier in feel ‘December 2nd’, with plenty of crashing drums and a strong main guitar riff this has a punk edge running through it along with impressive high notes from Jo.

The pace changes on ‘Nowhere Land’ laid-back and dreamy in style, keyboard heavy (also thanks to Jo) and for me very much in Kate Bush territory.

For the closing track it is back on the throttle with ‘Summer Rain (Storm Remix)’, the drum work at the start has an Eton Rifles feel and again the Blondie sound is evident, full of verve with an addictive chorus and a cracking guitar solo this for me is the standout track.

Full of energy and great numbers, a band to keep an eye on both in the studio and live.
