A band with which big things are expected of in 2012, Mojo GoGo are currently hoping to live up to that ominous title of ‘Next Big Thing’. Any band who can boast support slots with the likes of Ash and Horslips must be worthy of some of this hype, and their single ‘Trigger’ (available for free download) goes some way to corroborate this.
The track itself is an echoey and energetic guitar-laden breakup song. Despite the downbeat subject matter, the song never sinks to the depths of despair and the simple Editors-style guitar with snappy drumming and an Arctic Monkeys-sounding bass and guitar combination undercutting the lot makes this a group that I am looking forward to hearing a lot more of. It wouldn’t be my favourite song of theirs (Prison Shoes), but is still one which is well worth listening to. In terms of the ‘Next Big Thing’ title, it’s a case of a lot done, more to do, but with the talent on show with this single and their impressive live act, Mojo GoGo will be ones to watch this year.
