Kick Up The Fire’s latest single, “Movers & Shakers”, beats with contemporary angst towards the political plights that ravage modern society. The track rushes out with a thumping beat, the introductory chords reminiscent of classic Western cinema cowboy show-downs as a resilient guitar stands its ground. The music mimics the lyrics in how it literally keeps “spinning around”, cyclical melodic and lyrical echoes spiralling into the intensity of both sound and message.
Reminiscent of the mid-2000’s alt-rock anthems that would have you headbanging in the safety of your bedroom (and probably still do), “Movers & Shakers” pays homage to the greats while allowing the band to explore their own modern twist. Unafraid of embracing irony, Kick Up The Fire riffs off of a dance-rock beat in order to mimic a party escalating into chaos, a not so subtle nod to their native Britain’s current events. “Movers & Shakers” possesses a brash yet refined rawness. It’s a refreshing song in how it celebrates its predecessors while simultaneously welcoming their influences to the current era of being woke.
