Manchester’s indie-rock group The Cavs are here with their latest single ‘People Like Me’, the first instalment of their four-track EP ‘Game Of Life’ scheduled for release in January. Channelling their undeniable stage presence and crowd-pleasing music into studio recording once again, ‘People Like Me’ is a bright, catchy track with fun, bouncy instrumentation, complimented by powerful lyricism.
This last year has seen The Cavs dominate stage after stage, selling out local venues of Manchester and filling up festival tents across the country. Recently adding a successful set at Derbyshire’s YNot Festival 2024 to their impressive back-catalogue, The Cavs are nowhere near slowing down on this upwards trajectory, and it is clear that they have made a strong name for themselves due to their incredible live performances full of infectious energy, catchy guitar riffs and satisfying indie-rock atmosphere.
‘People Like Me’ is a perfect example of exactly what The Cavs stand for, and what makes them such crowd pleasers. With its instantly captivating baseline kicking in from the very first second, closely followed by lively, bouncing drums and sharp guitar riffs, ‘People Like Me’ springs to life and invites you to join in. Adding to this rich instrumental cocktail is some clear, powerful vocals delivering thought-provoking lyrics pondering the impact of social class in making connections. For songs that start on such an energetic note it is all too easy to fall flat or lack dynamics during the rest of the song’s run time, but in this regard The Cavs have nothing to worry about. Despite its instant electricity, ‘People Like Me’ seems to continue its climb throughout its duration, teasing us with a moorish instrumental segment towards the end before swooping upwards into a final, climactic chorus.
Lyrics, stamina, danceability, and a little bit of grit: what more could you want? If ‘People Like Me’ is a taste of what’s to come for The Cavs on their EP, its imperative that you don’t miss out on these guys before they blow up astronomically. And with their biggest headline show to date scheduled in a little over a week on the 19th of October, its the perfect time to get a feel for this incredible band, so grab your tickets to see them in Manchester at Band on the Wall before it sells out!
