With news of an album imminent, these singles are as good an indicator of the band as we can hope for at the moment, and can also serve to sate our appetite for what sound like a highly promising band. This song is a punk-rock single that has a unhemmed guitar riff, and a feisty vocal line. The songs maintains strong melodic sense despite the rawness. It (ironically) shows a desire to conform to punk rock conventions and even contains a bass-line (and minor solo) reminiscent of John Entwhistle. It has a driving, thrusting rhythm that crescendos and breaks down to a single pulsating line in the middle.
This a good single from a highly promising band that do not allude to any higher form of art or progressive rock, but deliver good quality punk and Nashville rock and roll. Nothing new, but excellent neverthless .
The album itself is a very interesting piece of hardcore. The heavy guitars and pounding drum beats are technically very good. The introductory track puts you right in the mindset.
Unfortunately, most of the tracks do blend into each other. While some may welcome short songs becoming one large piece of work, you feel somewhat cheated out of 15 songs when your getting around 10.
Then there is the sound of the album. Its good for the punkie sound it is, but not to everyones tastes. The heavy overdrive on guitars seems very off beat to the thrash drumming and the (at points) quite funky bass. One saving grace is the voice of their very attractive lead singer. However her voice is often lost like a sparrow in a storm.
Buy this if you want to give something new a try or are really into that new-wave punk revolution. If your not sure, or it doesnt sound quite to your taste, then definately buy "Adventure', which is absolutely the main highlight of the album.
The highlights have to be (new single) Adventurers, (present single) Lets Get Sandy and then some of the general album tracks absolutely rule. Though don’t expect a long album. The fact that it is 15 tracks long is deceptive. It only adds up to about half an hour. But still if it went on any longer there would be a lot of missed genius. As it is the madness lasts just the write length of time to keep the world happy.
Though I am raving here about an awesome album, NOTE it is not for everyone as many will see it as 15 tracks exactly the same with nothing special or of interest. It is however incredible for those who like bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Queenadreena (to a certain extent). I personally love it and think that it is incredible and worth the wait definitely. The only slight let down for fans is that it doesn’t include the tunes that you think of when you say “Be Your Own Pet”. So that means no “Fire Department” or “Damn Damn Leash” which is a real let down. But still filled with genius madness and a strange kind of aggressive extacy that should appeal to many of a loud disposition.
From the moment the first chord rings on 'Thresher's Flail', until the last screams of 'Ouch' rasp some half hour later, I guarantee... Read more
