Hector Bizerk are a creative duo from Glasgow, comprising of
drummer Audrey Tait and rapper Louie. If you haven’t heard of Hector Bizerk
yet… do yourself a favour and give them a listen. They are completely different
to anything else on the Scottish music scene at the moment.
The instrumentation and melody within their tracks are truly
great and extremely unique. You can tell that they draw inspiration from
various different types of music such as jazz, electronic and more chilled out
acoustic music to create this unusual sound. These seem a strange grouping of
music genres however these totally blend well together on The Fish That Never Swam, the first in a series of four EPs which are set to be released eight weeks apart.
Tait undoubtedly has a head for a good beat. Every single
track has a fantastic drumbeat, which marches the track on, and keeps the
listeners head moving in time with the track. The lyrics for each track are
incredible. Louie is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most eloquent,
intelligent and well-spoken songwriters Scotland has seen.
Although rap music may not be for everyone, this band have
such genuine talent and are totally fresh and different, they manage to grip
people who wouldn’t usually fall into the rap genre. Each song is so relatable,
especially if you are from Glasgow. The tracks on this EP describe typical
scenes from Scotland and typical characters you may come across in the city
centre on a Friday night.
Once again, Hector Bizerk have smashed it! The Fish That
Never Swam is so worth a listen!
