I Drive, the most recent offering from Manchester’s Gambling With Dogs, is a driving, melodic one. Occasionally, the twinkly guitar riffs of April’s release Hey Presto Asbestos are echoed in this track, but there is a more primal energy to I Drive – which serves as a window into a parallel world where Title Fight is fronted by the 1975’s Matty Healy. That is to say, Gambling With Dogs blends the energetic intensity of a melodic punk band with hooks delivered with a uniquely soulful delivery, and the result is sweet.
