Song of The Week #2 - Babydoll by The Corner

In the spotlight are ‘The Corner’, a three piece rock/punk/pop band (in that order). With 2 EP’s, inclusion into 5 international compilation albums, 3 music videos with thousands of hits and with one of their songs having reached 5th on the triple J charts they have certainly caused a stir.

‘Babydoll’, the second song off their EP ‘Aches and Alcohol’, is a great example of their rock/punk/pop genre. It features catchy riffs, awesome dynamics and a rocking climax. ‘Babydoll’ starts off with a bass riff that is followed by the addition of drums and a catchy guitar riff that acts as the chorus. ‘Babydoll’ contains interesting structure beginning with 2 verses, which are separated by a small instrumental chorus, then into the chorus that builds to the solo that flows into the final chorus only to come to a dramatic ending.

This was the first time I had listened to ‘The Corner’ but I can safely say I loved it. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the song coming from a 3 piece band, it lacks nothing.
I hope to see much more from this awesome Perth Punk band and I look forward to sharing the stage with ‘The Corner’ on the 16th of December at the Swan Basement.

Check it out. :D
