Scottish rock band Silver Dollar Room are set to release their eagerly awaited second album ‘It Can’t Rain All The Time’. As a piece of last minute promotion, they’ve shared the chunky ‘Normal People’ as the follow up single to the brilliant – and devastating – ‘Monsters’.

‘Normal People’ kicks off with a drum sound that’s absolutely huge, signifying a massive rocker on the horizon. However, the opening riff takes on more of a heavy indie vibe than expected, and it’s only with the the arrival of John Keenan’s vocal that things take on a distinctly Silver Dollar tone. He’s in great voice – the performance here is every bit the equal of his finest moments on the debut; whether he’s in full rock croon or reaching for a few high toned woo’s, everything is pitched brilliantly. The marriage of his voice and Jamie Turnbull’s guitar on a melodic chorus taps into a classic post grunge sound, and although the arrangement sticks firmly to a slightly mournful mid tempo, the band’s sound is so familiar. With a lyric exploring the darker side of a co-dependent relationship, the number also continues the SDR tradition for offering weighty subject matter.

‘It Can’t Rain All The Time’ has a couple of much bigger treats up its sleeve – and fans can experience those on 12th September when the album finally arrives – but ‘Normal People’ is very much an example of this great underground rock band sounding very confident.
