Originally from Camden Town, London, Little Wasters bring energy and passion to the table in their latest release, “I Want You (For Someone)”. This down to earth indie pop track focuses on themes of love and rejection, self acceptance and the plea to be someone’s answer.
It has a power chorus, seething guitars and churning bassline that paint a clear image of sexual frustration and wellbeing loved by someone who never reciprocates that feeling. Discovering the boundary between egocentric desire and actual concern for a loved one’s happiness, the song tells us about the uncompromising pain of wanting the best for the one close to us, even if that means losing her.
The track’s music style sits between energetic punk rock and melodic alternative rock, with both the groups’ enthusiasm and Stereophonics’ melodies. There are vibrant layers that comprise rhythm guitars and each of them is pummelling, but the sparkly keyboards and mellow chords that soar above make it sweet and sad at the same time. The powerful feeling in the voices and the call and response, the chants and singing along also make the song catchy and easy to like, which is not always the same thing as loving.
Little Wasters make a strong statement on ‘I Want You (For Someone)’. It’s as real as it gets, it has that drive that makes you glued to your seat, and the professional sound of the band. Though it is a track filled with bitterness and sorrow, it is bright lyric with remarkable message on love and rejection, transformation and acceptance. A killer release that is sure to stick with fans of heartfelt high energy indie rock.
