It’s been absolutely ages since we’ve heard a decent rock song with a “whoa whoa” chorus.

Isn’t it refreshing then that Snow Patrol have decided to run with an up-tempo song as the first single from their new album? And not only an up-tempo song, but a darned catchy one at that?

Watching the video though, I couldn’t help noticing how much Gary Lightbody looks like Mark Ronson.

But forget about that, Take Back The City is a reminder that Snow Patrol are about more than bland balladry. These guys can – and do – rock. Don’t you just wish that Snow Patrol would do more of this stuff?
