Static Satellites is a four piece indie group from Glasgow/West Lothian made up of Ross Whelan on Vocals/Guitar, Ally Taylor on Lead Guitar, Sam Carlyle on Bass and Ciaran Boyle on Drums. If you’re interested in finding out more about the band, then check out my interview by clicking here. This isn’t my first time reviewing Static Satellites either, and you can check out more by clicking here. Today, though, I’ll be reviewing their single ‘Fortify’ which was released April 3rd 2020.
‘Fortify’ opens with a calming, ambient note that carries through even as the melody gets more complex as the percussion and strings join in. The vocals are deeper that I would have expected considering the initial tune, but they work really well, and help to balance to track. Although that being said, the music just keeps building, getting faster and heavier, so perhaps they were the perfect fit the whole time. Their is a really great guitar riff, that’s part of the chorus, it’s just really memorable, syncs with the vocals and just overall makes a really good track, a great one.
So that’s what I thought of Static Satellites single ‘Fortify’ and if you want to check that out for yourself then head on over to Spotify. Make sure and support the group by following them on Facebook and Twitter.
