After working their way through a total of 10+ past band members, Climbing Alice find themselves at last in a state of stability ahead of their new EP. Get Bored is a statement of defiance and stubborn unwillingness to accept the end. The current lineup came together through a general dissatisfaction of the modern world, this misanthropy has driven the bands sound out of the youthful naivety of past offerings and into a darker more acidic space on Get Bored.
Climbing Alice are a four piece alt rock band from Wakefield that have grown up surrounded by the city, a place that has engendered a deep appreciation of music’s DIY culture and the power of a brutish live performance. They have an identity forged over 5 years of constant upheaval and change, leading to a desperate, almost carnal need to be heard. Previous offerings have shown a willingness to forge a more polished sound but in Get Bored we see the band embrace the aggressive and gritty live sound that captures the essence of the band best.
Although this new found stability had seemed somewhat beyond them, the four piece have reached this point through resolve and stubborn determination in reverence of self-reflection. These traits are on show throughout Get Bored as lyrical content crosses themes of romantic jealousy, refusal to let go and an element of self-belief. In general Get Bored strikes as an honest analysis of what it is to love and lose, to feel the pressure of modern society and find yourself struggling.
