There’s nothing quite like songs packed with low-fi scuzz, and Straight Arrows deliver that perfectly. ‘Make Up Your Mind’ is well-paced, full of rhythm and just oozes garage goodness. From the first few bars, you’re expecting the track to erupt into a garage rock/punk delight, and it does just that – but very nicely, without so much force. The guitar and vocal effects really establish that ‘wall of noise’ persona, whilst sweet harmonies and some sweet high pitched guitar provides great contrast. All-round rockin’, ‘Make Up Your Mind’ sets you in store nicely for Straight Arrows’ forthcoming album, due out in early 2014.
