Big Society‘s newest single, Guarantee, encapsulates our energy, mesmerizing us with its serene acoustic instrumentation and fresh vocals. Brilliantly, the balance of acoustic and electric guitar and bass fills your eardrums with a well-rounded, joyful sound. The vocals are bright and gentle, contrasting beautifully with the slight distortion in the guitars.
The drumset perfectly matches the rhythmic vibe of the song. This group’s music shows similarities to artists like MGMT and Role Model, while bringing a visionary perspective to the pop-rock genre. As this band has released singles over the years, they have played sold-out shows in cities like Manchester and London. We can’t wait to see this band’s future plans.
