WRETCH is a four-piece rock band with punk elements from Newcastle, England. “Sweet Shopping” is the title of their debut track.
WRETCH – ‘Sweet Shopping’
The track starts with a delicate guitar melody, with crisp clean vocals layered on top while the euphonious riff continues in the background. We’re eased into the first hearing of the chorus: “You make me insatiable for you,” followed by “Sweet shopping is what I want to do. There’s no stopping this feeling when I’m with you.” These lines are ones that most of us can relate to at some point in our lives, which already makes this an identifiable song.
The first chorus builds tension through a crescendo on the floor tom and snare that comes to an abrupt stop. Then, we hear these lyrics over what feels like a simple acoustic track. The catchy guitar part plays again, and the drums gradually come back in with a soft crush of hi-hats.
We’re then guided through another verse with this melodic composition, leading into an exciting buildup for the chorus again. This time, the chorus hits harder, giving the song a more pop-punk feel, which is a great contrast to the delicate vibe we’ve had so far.
From here, we get a catchy, punchy bridge that ties the song together flawlessly. This is also when we hear some grittier vocals, showcasing the vocal range heard throughout this track.
“An uplifting pop-punk anthem that’ll lift your mood every time it plays!”
The song ends by returning to that dulcet guitar riff we’ve heard throughout, then explodes into raw vocals layered together, giving us a harmonic yet headbanging finish. An undeniably outstanding track that’ll have you singing along to the chorus before you know it!
