Song of The Week #1 - Smoke by Seer Cya

Smoke by Seer Cya

Seer Cya, a 4 piece “balls out rock” band, have just released their debut album ‘Prohibition’. I was put to the task of reviewing track number 6, ‘Smoke’.

‘Smoke’ begins simply in a manner that outlines the chorus riff of the song that flows seamlessly into the verse, which comparatively is less instrumentally complex. Within the first 30 seconds a good use of dynamics and instrumentation is already seen. The verse and the chorus can be easily recognised due to the catchy riff in the chorus and the guitar fills. The bridge opens the way for a perfect transition to double time which makes the song for me. An outstanding finish to a song that just gets you fired up.

Overall, ‘Smoke’ is an awesome song and my words don’t do it justice, “Balls out rock” is pretty much the best way to describe it. Catchy hooks, rhythm that seduces headbanging, and in general great instrumentation. I’m impressed that only after a mere 18 months has Seer Cya released an album, but a great album.

‘Prohibition’ launches on the 7th of January at the Rosemount Hotel, go check it out.
