Song Review/ Singer-Songwriter : Chris Thomas & The Merrymakers’ ‘FromTheTop 2.0’
This act of Chris Thomas is edgy, alternative, and a whole lot of swag. His banner, ‘Chris Thomas & The Merrymakers’ includes not only his performances by his audience, and he is here to entertain. As a solo artist, he is impressively dexterous. He is a songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. ‘FromTheTop 2.0’ will take you back to the 80s. Think The Bangles with their adult contemporary/ new wave post rock of the time. That’s the atmosphere that slow burns, swirls, and lights you up.
The quality of the listening experience is remarkably retro. With slurring baritones dragging into slow guitar grooves, raw beats, and a dispersing bassline, it’s like you’re in an underground bar. There’s a latent punk energy to the whole thing. That’s where the swag and the charisma comes from. And with its alternative elements and grinding rhythm, it’ll lend you an edge that you’ll crave for over and over. Listen Now!
