The vocals are strong, I think my favourite part of the song is the low pitched guitar solo at 2:22, there could have been temptation to take it two octaves higher to begin with, but no it\u2019s kept at its original pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that little surprise I mentioned? At around the 3:00 mark everything slows down and then comes back up for another rousing chorus\u2026.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Great tune.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Artesan are a 5 piece band from Falkirk who&#8217;s age range spans 30 years from oldest to youngest. Their sound is best described as melodic, anthemic, Indie-Rock with influences such as The Verve, Oasis, Guns N Roses, U2, Massive Attack, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Richard Ashcroft.<\/p>\n<p>Ronnie Bissett (lead vocals), Dickson Telfer (bass) and Will Treeby (guitar) started making music together around 2010 but in 2013 they put things on hold due to personal commitments .
