Going back to basics, brotherly trio The Family Rain's retro-inspired rock 'n' roll has seen this Bath based band lock onto something pretty special. With an unpretentious vocal, guitar, bass and drum line-up, The Family Rain's simple instrumentation sees them unlock the true potential of their instruments without the aid of wishy-washy synths and overindulgent technology.

Squeezed into a concise 3:10, "Pushing It" (produced by Jim Abyss of The Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian fame) focuses upon using heavy guitar riffs and big, bluesy chords to hold the listener’s attention throughout. Groovy, slick, anthemic, ridiculously cool; whichever way you wish to look at this, make sure you turn it up loud!
