In The Spotlight

The Cheap Thrills – “Calypso Blue”

Hailing from Liverpool, this British indie-pop band consisting of four school friends Lewis Pike, Anton Eager, Terry Eaves and Callum Fitzpatrick was formed in a basement in 2010. They began making themselves known playing festivals such as Kendall Calling and Liverpool Sound City, as well as playing venues like the Cavern Club and opening for DMA’s and Cast. In 2022 they won the Liverpool Band Of The Year Award from Sound Music Group. They debuted with their EP “Oparadise” in 2014.

With emotive lyrics telling the moving tale about losing someone close to you, their new single is an introspective and touching tune. Taken from their EP “Mind Metro”, the song eases you into their emotional world with a mellow guitar and laid-back vocals. Despite the poignant lyrics, the track soon opens with upbeat drums and additional guitars. Joining a sunlit vivacious melody with Lewis Pike’s sentimental story-telling, this seeming contradiction blends together quite naturally.
