If Modestep’s original chart success in 2011 was brilliantly unexpected, based on music they made “for a bit of a laugh,” as they put it, can you imagine where they’ll go now they’ve made an album they love? ‘London Road’, say brothers Josh and Tony Friend, is the real deal, an accurate representation of the four-piece they’ve become, and a passionate tribute to their home city.
Modestep fans will be pleased to hear that the album explodes with that noise, unafraid to mash industrial dubstep attack into Rage Against The Machine-style riffage. It also contains a who’s who of collaborators, chosen not for their commercial clout, but because they’re at the vanguard of the sounds Modestep love.
Everything has clicked into place so riotously in the studio and with the new line-up, and they now have the team to support them wherever they wish to go, to help realise their vision. They’ve evolved into an outfit who punch hard but also have versatility. They can fit on a bill at Reading, Ultra, Download or Coachella but are equally at home beside electronic names they were listening to in the run-up to the album – Noisia, Squarepusher, Black Sun Empire, Neosignal, Nero, Justice, Amon Tobin and the like. And they can’t wait to take it back onto the stage, to globally show off an album they’re immensely proud of.
“’London Road’ has been an amazing opportunity to get on board some of the best talent we’ve ever seen,” concludes Tony, “and to push the boundaries of what they do, what Modestep do, and what we can do together.” Modestep are back, they’re loud and they’re filled with fire. Watch out, world.
