The latest release from Bingo Fighter, On My Guard, is a very cool song with vivid pulsating guitar which is driven along by stomping drums, that pump through the song with outstanding clarity.
The chorus is simple enough with its straightforward repeated phrase “on a far-king train”, delivered in a unique singing style from vocalist Hayden, which is strikingly distinct with a clear enunciated style that makes the track sound super sublime.
The carefully restrained smooth almost monotone confines of Hayden’s vocals add a smoothness to the more dynamic sparkling guitar(s) and they blend so well and bring the song to life.
The melody and drive of this song fit so well together and it positively rolls along. It kind of takes you on a ride, matching with the theme of being stoic and sticking to a plan. This is definitely a “sound good, feel good” song and it’s worth making a plan to listen to it.
