“As We Do” by Bite The Bullet – A Song Feature

 

    Listening to “As We Do,” different influences come to mind as the song unfolds over its almost 5-minute duration. Still, the single from Bite The Bullet stands on its own, and stands strong.
 
     In the early portion of “As We Do,” the vocals and percussion command attention. The voice of lead singer Thomas Storgaard Christiansen shares characteristics with Brandon Flowers of The Killers. Just past the 30-second mark, rhythm pushes its way into prominence. The beat of the kick drum is demanding, but the synth plays an equal role. LCD Soundsystem is our initial thought, until the MGMT-like synth begins surfacing periodically. As one example, Bite The Bullet channel an MGMT sound at the 3:23 mark of “As We Do.”
 
     Bite The Bullet is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. In addition to frontman Thomas Storgaard Christiansen, the band comprises guitarist and multi instrumentalist Paw Eriksen, and bass and synth player Christian Norup. “As We Do” is the first release from an upcoming EP, “TBR.” The EP is expected before summer 2024. They are scheduled for shows in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and in Denmark in connection with the EP release.
 
     Quoting helpful information about Bite the Bullet:
