The Neighbourhood – Female Robbery

the-neighbourhood1

The Neighbourhood (who are actually Californian) put on for the British big guitar band block with new track “Female Robbery”. Sure, the track does have those epic guitar elements (and it certainly has a massive enough chorus) but they’ve been pushed way back in the mix in favor of loud, compressed syncopated drums and hip hop-esque use of vocal sampling. So are bands like The Neighbourhood the way forward for Brit-esque band music? Don’t ask us to decide, but for now “Female Robbery” ticks enough “good song” boxes to get a b3sci co-sign.
