This is the sound of a city at midnight, alive with a nervous energy and a deep, melancholic pulse. "Bullets" wraps you in a cloak of dramatic tension, its insistent rhythms and sharp guitar lines cutting through the quiet. Tom Smith's voice, a rich, commanding baritone, delivers lyrics that feel both personal and universally existential, making you feel every ounce of the song's brooding defiance. It's an essential track for anyone who loves their indie rock with a serious post-punk edge, perfect for introspective nights or moments when you need a powerful, atmospheric soundtrack to your thoughts.
