Fever Days, Drugs Review

Bringing us the glorious sounds of youth’s energy and abandon is a Newcastle-upon-Tyne band called Fever Days. With a sound that is a hip mix of alternative pop and New Wave rock. The band’s first single one single, “What’s Your Problem?” (read our review HERE), landed on one of Spotify’s coveted ‘Fresh Finds’ playlists. Locally, Fever Days has created a solid buzz since appearing at Meet The North Festival and tour support slots with Jordan Allen, Our Girl, and Spring King. Fever Days is now releasing their second single titled, “Drugs.” The lyrics (see lyrics below) is about taking drugs to deal with things in life.

FEVER DAYS – Drugs (lyrics)

Who are you talking to?
It seems you’ve got far too much to say
And I’m not in the mood
But if you insist, alright fine, okay
The rhythm of a beating heart
Serotonin off the charts
Feeling never felt so good
All the senses open wide
Jaw swinging from side to side
Everything seems how it should

But it’ll be okay
Meet your mate down an alleyway
He can give you what you want
Using everyday
To try and keep the thoughts at bay
Forever acting nonchalant
You’re always talking about

Drugs
Never have enough
You know it shows you’ll never give it up
Never give it up
Have you got nothing else to say man?

What are you smiling for?
Wearing such a filthy grin
Barely made it out the door
I wish you could see the state you’re in
Roll another cigarette
Forty thousand pounds debt
Given up at twenty-two
Take something to numb the brain
Take something to ease the pain
It’s just something else to do

Drugs
Never give it up
Never give it up ‘cause you never have enough

Bottom Line

Fever Days brings out the creative juice on their second single, “Drugs.” The tune is introduced with a clean guitar part with delay. The big full bass sound thumps us along as the drums support the multiple singers delivering the melody with style and hip articulations. The pre-chorus takes us to a nice psychedelic feel change. The chorus has big guitar sounds that support the melody. The various feels and instrument density is a winning combination. The second time through the form finds the band building the song with variations in the instruments and production. The bridge allows us to hear a solid bass sound. The band certainly has a sound, and for their young age a solid grasp of songwriting. Fever Days are one to watch, and listen to, that’s the short of it!
