Similarly, late-2019 saw the band play a number of shows across the UK earning a reputation for their angular and intoxicating live performances supporting the likes of\u00a0The Murder Capital, Drahla, Du Blonde, Flamingods, The Rhythm Method, Crocodiles, Duds, Thee MVPS\u00a0and more.<br><br>The new EP \u2018Roxy Girls Are In The Drink\u2019 was born out of the band not seeing each other for some time and meeting at the height of the UK\u2019s third lockdown without having much idea of what to record. The resulting four tracks taken from this recording session are made up of live takes of tracks written in the studio, but despite the circumstances, the new EP finds the band continuing to develop and expand upon what a Roxy Girls song can be.<br><br>Influenced in part by albums like XTC\u2019s \u2018Drums and Wires\u2019, the EP sees the band build on their unique and idiosyncratic take on the post-punk format, with crisp polyrhythmic guitar lines that interweave with one another, whilst placing more emphasis on the dynamics led by the drums and bass. It still conveys the same breathless intensity that Roxy Girls have been lauded for in the past, but not at the expense of the band moving towards warmer, more melodically driven songwriting. Whereas the band\u2019s previous release \u2018A Wealth Of Information\u2019 saw the band strip back their sound slightly, the new EP sees them strike the balance between frenetic intensity, restraint and fastidious musicianship.<br><br>Lyrically, the \u2018Roxy Girls Are In The Drink\u2019 is more surreal than previous outings, partly due to the circumstances forced upon the band and general public by the pandemic. However, they still contain that same high-energy and mordacious, dry lyrical humour that frontman Tom Hawick has instilled across all the band\u2019s releases. Speaking about recording the EP Hawick says,\u00a0<em>\u201cAfter being sat in front of the tv for much of the last year, the lines between reality and entertainment started to blur, influencing portions of the EP\u2019s lyrical content. \u2018In the drink\u2019 came from countless episodes of Takeshi\u2019s castle and \u2018My new home\u2019 after too many grand designs.\u00a0<\/em><br><br>Going on to speak about the new single <em>Like A Bouy<\/em>, Hawick says, \u201c<em>months of mindless swiping culminate in the odd date. Some are an awkward waste of time and some result in two years of not being able to decide what to have for tea. I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t pay for Tinder gold.\u201d<\/em><br><br>In spite of the situation thrust upon the band, the new EP sees Roxy Girls once again find a very natural evolution of a sound that has become completely their own. \u2018Roxy Girls Are In The Drink\u2019 sees the band taking a big leap forward in terms of their songwriting ability, further honing both their textural and melodic sensibilities. Whilst only four tracks long the EP stands as a blistering statement of what is yet to come from the band as they continue to push the boundaries of what they are capable of \u2013 lockdown or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BA8D01CE-C1A9-49E5-9869-6BA68F9B0846.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BA8D01CE-C1A9-49E5-9869-6BA68F9B0846.jpeg?resize=900%2C900\" alt=\"Roxy Girls Roxy Girls Are In The Drink EP cover artwork \" class=\"wp-image-36851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BA8D01CE-C1A9-49E5-9869-6BA68F9B0846.jpeg?w=900 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BA8D01CE-C1A9-49E5-9869-6BA68F9B0846.jpeg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BA8D01CE-C1A9-49E5-9869-6BA68F9B0846.jpeg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BA8D01CE-C1A9-49E5-9869-6BA68F9B0846.jpeg?resize=768%2C768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Roxy Girls Are In The Drink\u2019 EP track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
