The Shermans
Venom (Whimsical)
Scots rockers The Shermans are currently in the midst of their ‘Venom’ tour across Scotland to promote their single of the same name, and their style is most definitely at the mainstream segment of the indie-rock market. They have made steady if unspectacular progress since their debut single ‘Calling it Wrong’ at the back end of 2007.
‘Venom’ maintains a poppy edge and yes, the guitar jangles away in every vocal break, but it is solid, tight, and unquestionably catchy. Whether it shows enough development from their previous is effort remains in question, however, as there appears to be very little deviation in style and execution from their debut, but it remains a well-executed, slick track that will please current fans and Sherman newbies alike.
