The Christophers keenly add another soundtrack to our summer. “Getaway” is a time bomb of pop contained within a capsule of crossover rock. – Get Away

Stamps, claps, blips, beeps……..whatever it is, is what it is, is what this is…….  City beats with analog sounds mixed together with sharp guitars, big bass rhythm and brooding vocals bring The Christophers latest single ‘Vertigo’ bang into 2011. Cutting, abrasive dance meets rock meets electro with guitars moving steadfastly into the future. A monster slab of electronica, post-dance with a growling bass and big guitar shimmers, all bundled up into a brilliant legacy of digital / analogue fusion – and with heady results. Continuing their prolonged attack of single releases, The Christophers keenly add another soundtrack to our summer. “Getaway” is a time bomb of pop contained within a capsule of crossover rock. Guitars and electronica jockey for attention, whilst the efficient, rollercoaster drum beats and vivid bass lines ensure everything’s anchored to some solid rhythms. Somehow they get away (ha!) with a crafty band of disco and leftfield muscular rock. Melodies aren’t lost either – the pop theme surfaces via Chris Insley’s relaxed yet affirming vocal with the song given as much attention on harmonies, as it is on the intricate sequencing. Whilst The Christophers have been intelligently brash in the past, this new single gives them a stadium tilt too – with their music and ideas continuing to rise exponentially, they remain a band ready to define their own limits…
