Pop-punk needs to become more pop if it is to lure in the hearts of the mainstream. Heading that movement seems to be an Anglo-American bunch who go by the name of Kidnapper Bell. Playing shows with contemporaries Tubelord, Johnny Foreigner, Hot Club De Paris, they’ve had plenty of time to inhale the tricks of the trade and 2009 has been the year in which they’ve unleashed their blueprint – ‘The Great Outdoors‘, a mini album showcasing dramatic, melodic, guitar-led pop with a commanding, sinister outer edge.

‘An Evening‘, taken from said album, is due out on November 23rd as a download-only single. It’s a prime example of the ambitious, active sound that Kidnapper Bell have seemingly already mastered – delicate male-female vocals combine behind delay-ridden guitar patterns that recall Grammatics at their finest. It’s a sure-fire means of easing you into enjoying Kidnapper Bell, so d/l the single in November or alternatively, give it a sample here and then make up your mind.
