Fingertrick maintain a robust control over their craft, their music rarely seems haphazard, as they bend their songs into new shapes to portray characters and convey emotions that have much conviction. On their single “All Dawgs Go To Heaven”, the band gets comfortable in their own skin and learn how they could present themselves to their fans with electrifying energy.
True, organic endearment could be just as important for an aspiring rock band in 2019 as a crossover hit or a crucial sync placement. Probably more realistic too, Fingertrick are a proper charm offensive with their soul-stirring lyrics and build something interesting, a bit like stretching an elastic band throughout the tune to heighten suspense.
“All Dawgs Go To Heaven” is one tune that hews closer to popular forms and structures, this one being likeable for its fast-paced rhythms and melodic riffs. You can tell Fingertrick have spent a long time working on getting the guitar settings right to give a suitably expansive sound. They experiment with raising the volume in a concerted effort to ride the punk rock bandwagon.
The song is extremely busy, working all the time around the clock. The band come up with a catchy and anthemic chorus. They pick up the electric guitars and kick them into distortion as they beat the drums pretty hard. It becomes a bit of the classic rocker with it’s aggressive style.
“All Dawgs Go To Heaven” represents a significant step forward, with the band inching closer to their signature setting and sound. The song is a pivotal release for the band’s album If Requiems Were Record Deals, and is one that demonstrates the depth of Fingertrick’s world and the extent of their dedication to evoking dark and menacing tunes with fine, eccentric clarity.
