Hey you guys! Wanna take a trip back to the Eighties? You do? Well, jump aboard the Über Rock time machine, as we have the perfect soundtrack for any journey back through the decades, in the form of this sophomore single from this new Dublin project, packed with references, both musically and visually, to the era, from the self-explanatory Goonies-inspired title to homages to the likes of ‘The Karate Kid’, ‘Terminator’, ‘Home Alone’ and many more:
Zürich may be a new name but the constituent members are very much Irish scene veterans who have risen from the ashes of a number of previous glam, hard rock and sleaze projects, such as Agent Orange, Stillroom and Stone Trigger. And that experience shows with the confidence of the huge strides forward they have taken since they burst onto the scene just six months ago, culminating in their first headline show north of the border, this very weekend, being virtually sold out.
The quartet are currently working on their debut album, which is due to be self-released early next year. And that leaves us with only one question: where the fuck did we park the DeLorean?
