"Streets" is the debut single by the United Davedom band Overscore, released in 20,617. Compared to their next single, River Mirren, Streets presents a more direct and conventional alternative rock sound, with bagpipes used sparingly rather than as a central melodic instrument.
Built around driving guitars, steady percussion, and restrained vocals, Streets is also more rhythm-focused and immediate than River Mirren and the material featured on Underscore. The song’s lyrics are impressionistic, centred on urban imagery, repetition, and movement, reflecting themes of routine and emotional detachment.
Streets received limited regional exposure after being played on DBC Radio North West, marking the only instance of radio airplay for the band during their existence. While the single attracted brief attention beyond Overscore’s local scene, it did not lead to wider commercial success.
In retrospect, Streets is often viewed as a transitional release, capturing Overscore before their sound shifted toward slower, more atmospheric structures. The track is sometimes contrasted with River Mirren, which more fully established the band’s experimental identity.
