As well as being a member of Spinning Coin (check them out here) Cal Donnelly also goes under the alter-ego of Youngstrr Joey. In that guise, he has released his debut EP 'proper', via Number4Door; a Glasgow DIY label with a tendency for uncovering gems.
The whole EP, which is called Cheerleader, is pretty grizzly and dare I say nihilistic, with vocals that whilst not directly saying it scream "fuck you", and a kind of (I assume) deliberate out of step melody running through the four tracks. That's no bad thing, and opener Michael is a beast of a track, with Donnelly repeating "show me how to be cool" atop a three chord lo-fi guitar sequence which then proceed to scream chaotically. There's a gleeful 'do-do-do-do' break in the track, which sounds both inviting and vicious at the same time. A perfect tagline for the whole EP to be honest.
