We recorded this song in 2017, but our plans to release it didn't quite work out. So here it is before we forget where we left it.

We used to do covers - here's our favourite. It's a rock cover of 'Too Close' by Alex Clare

Too Close (Alex Clare Cover)

Act On Impulse is an art rock band from Bristol, formed in early 2017 and comprised of Jon Pont (Bass), Topaz Maitland (Vocals and synth), Katie Carr-Ferguson (Guitar) and Jamie Ward (Drums).
Their signature sound takes a funk twist on a classic, full rock sound by adding intricate rhythms, periods of calm and even some vocal scatting weaved into a classic rock breakdown in between choruses. “It’s full of energy but also often tranquil and reflective. We wanted to write stuff you can groove to, but there’s also so much you can express with your music. That’s why we have some songs that practically wrote themselves - each one comes straight from the heart, and grooves at the same time.” says lead singer Topaz of the band’s style.
The group bring a lot of energy to their performances, playing with fun and unexpected techniques such as tapping the bass guitar with drumsticks. “We’re just trying to have fun with it really.  In band prac we do all sorts of things like trying to play a whole song lying down on the floor.” says Jon Pont, the band’s bassist.
After winning the 2017 University of Bristol battle of the bands and receiving support through MAS Records later that year, the band have plans to record and release a series of singles by the end of 2018.
