Written by the band themselves, the song opens with drums before the bass and guitars kickstart the rhythm – this unique drum opening grabs audiences from the get-go and is set to engage potential fans when heard for the first time, standing out on any playlist it gets added to. Rhys Rowlands’ indie-rock vocals add texture and passion to the compelling journey that the lyrics of “One Way Flight” take us on, wrapping infectiously around the addictive beat.
Bringing an incredibly unique style to indie-rock, Life City make their mark on the scene with “One Way Flight”. The track allows each of the four members to shine equally, with Dan White impressing to no end by fuelling the rhythm of the track with his bass, while Joel Hampton establishes the beat with skilful drumming, then there’s Lee Hollis who stuns as the lead guitarist driving the melody of the song, add all that to Rowlands’ exceptional vocals and additional guitar chords, and here we have a gifted four-piece band that is ready to nail the indie-rock world by storm and prepared to rise within the industry.
As the song comes to an end an incredible instrumental segment is played during the bridge and this continues through to the last chorus. This segment spotlights the hard work and determination these four band members have and truly makes this track beyond memorable. The heartfelt emotion that transcends from the lyrics, the vocals, and the instruments, is truly flawless, bringing an awesome depth to this song that really puts Life City on the map.
