"Get Over It" - Solid Gold

Yet another 1980's reboot I'm afraid. Although "Get Over It" is pleasing to the ears, it's unremarkable. Solid Gold have cashed in on the recent craze of sounding like something that would be played on Flash FM, though have tried to gain a middle ground between pop and eighties rehash - and not done very well.

It is an okay song, just predictable. It's got tones of Calvin Harris and Kasabian, but ultimately is destined for the graveyard. This is hardly a new trick and, the reinvention of music long past its sell-by date has to be done right - otherwise you end up with this; boring, shop-front soundtrack - TV advert music.

As part of an overall scene of music, this is a good solid track, but from a band that is clearly a bit of a one-trick pony. If you wanted to buy into the genre as a whole, then by all means get the album. Their credibility has been proven in other means; The Ting Tings handpicked them to as support, and they obviously can make a good pop track - but that's just it. This song has no hook, no sonic-boom of a chorus, and no discernable features differentiating it from the better artists out there. Or maybe I've just got a spot of review-fatigue (it seems that the last three IFS offerings have sounded exactly the same).

Genius reccomendations for this track were; Cloud Cult; Haley Bonar; Wild Beasts; Chris Koza and Jeremy Messersmith.
