Call Connie, a fresh-faced indie rock quartet hailing from Glasgow, have dropped their latest single, 'Becky's Friend', and it's a vibrant blast of noughties nostalgia. The track, released earlier this year on 26th February 2025, serves up a hefty dose of youthful energy, reminiscent of the bands that defined a generation. Think infectious guitar riffs, a driving rhythm section, and a lyrical honesty that's both relatable and engaging.
Lead singer Lauchlan Bennett's personal experiences with love and infatuation form the core of 'Becky's Friend'. He explains that the track is "inspired by lead singer Lauchlan Bennett’s experiences with love and fancying a girl". This isn't just another love song, though; it's a candid look at the messy, exhilarating feelings of youthful attraction, wrapped in a catchy indie package. The band’s influences are clear, with nods to The Kooks, The Vaccines, Two Door Cinema Club, and Vampire Weekend. They’ve managed to capture that same blend of rawness and melodic charm that made those bands so popular.
"It’s an upbeat catchy indie track, with a great guitar section and catchy bass hook," the band notes, highlighting the song's key strengths. This isn't just studio trickery, either. The track was recorded in Glasgow in a single live take, capturing the band’s raw energy and tight musical chemistry. This stripped-back approach gives 'Becky's Friend' a genuine, authentic feel, something that's often missing in today's overly polished music scene.
Call Connie aren't just about the studio, though. They're a live band at heart, currently embarking on a mini-tour across Dundee, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. They're keen to connect with their audience, delivering electrifying performances that showcase their talent. Their commitment to live shows is a testament to their passion.
With 'Becky's Friend', Call Connie have delivered a standout indie anthem that's both nostalgic and fresh. As they continue to tour and release new music, they're definitely a band to watch.
