Circa Waves are an indie-rock band from my hometown of Liverpool! Not usually a genre I would listen to, Circa Waves caught my attention with their hit singles Fossils and Stuck In My Teeth. I am not usually a fan of the indie genre because it is too poppy for me, and my love of music stands next to songs with a bit more of a gritty feel to them. However, Circa Waves have a healthy balance between the pop and the rock sound, which makes for a perfect 'happy' rock album with the most Summery vibes you will ever hear from a band.
They recently released their first album - Young Chasers. The whole album centres around the idea of coming of age and the youth of our lives. This is told through the lyrics, including lines such as 'I'm a little too young with not enough time', '17 went far too quick', and 'we are flying through our best years'. For fans of Catfish & The Bottlemen, Royal Blood and The 1975, if you haven't already blessed your ears with the catchy chorus' and riffs of Circa Waves, you are totally missing out.

So, a couple of weeks ago, me and a few friends went into town to meet the band at their hometown album signing in HMV. They played a few of their hits and then we queued up and got the album signed!
Then last week, I went to see them in the Liverpool o2 Academy. THEY. WERE. AMAZING. Never in my life have I been favoured enough to be part of a crowd so gleeful and full of life from start to finish. They sounded exactly like they do on record too and we all know there is nothing more heartbreaking than going to see one of your favourite bands and they are a train wreck when they set in motion, or the singer just can't hit that high note in the chorus, or they skip out the least mainstream song (which happens to be your fave) and act like it doesn't exist. But oh my word, Circa Waves certainly didn't disappoint.
