Irish Five-piece indie rock band, Kill ‘Em Charlie have released their new single ‘Local High Roller’. The band consists of Eoghan McGuigan (Vocals/Guitar), Alex Sheehan (Backing vocals, Guitar), Patrick Kirwan (Guitar), George Broadbank (backing vocals, Guitar) and Damon Walsh (Drums). Since forming, the band have played shows in Cyprus Avenue in Cork, Dublin’s Whelans and Valley of Arts Festival in Tipperary.

 ‘Local High Roller’ is a fun energetic track that showcases Kill ‘Em Charlie’s youthful indie sound. The song steamrolls in on frantic guitar riffs, rampant bass lines and powerful drumming to create a frenzied wall of sound that is sure to be epic live. With a catchy melody, shredding guitar outbursts and hyper instrumentation ‘Local High Roller’ is an impressive banger. This band are developing their sound superbly as they blend their impressive musicianship with oodles of swagger and rock n roll panache.

On the background of the song, the band state: “The track came about one evening while we were practising. Eoghan started playing the main guitar line and everyone joined in what they felt was right for the song. We knew from the get-go that it would be an energetic song so we tried to stick to that vibe. By the end of practice, we had the first draft of the music for the song which has not changed much since. Eoghan then went away and wrote the lyrics and vocal melodies, getting inspiration from our own experiences as we mentioned above. Once the lyrics were done it was just a case of melding both together and the outcome was the song ‘Local High Roller’ as you hear it now.”

“The song was recorded at Claycastle, Youghal by producer Triss. It was our first time recording in this studio and Triss’ energy matched us incredibly well and he knew exactly what our vision for the song/EP was. Our old band member, Gavin Murray, was the mixing maestro for this song and EP. We previously worked with Gavin on our previous single ‘Hazey’ and, as Gavin used to be a former member, he really understands how we wanted the songs to sound. We could not be happier with the result of both the recording and mixing. Finally, the songs were mastered by Fergal Davis who has mastered most of our previous material so we also have a good trusting relationship with him.”
