Whilst retaining the driving rhythms, dynamic guitar work and infectious melodies that lifted their debut album, The Mad Love, to Gold record status, this newest offering, as the name suggests, deals in contrasts; blending styles and highlighting dynamics, and ultimately pushing the boundaries of their genre.
With a brand new album before them, and their infamous May Army behind them, 48May are back, stronger than ever, and ready to take over the airwaves.
