Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Some evidence London indie-grime outfit Hadouken! aren’t planning on doing things by the rules: rather than releasing a debut album, Not Here to Please You is the band’s debut "mixtape", a twelve track collection of new tracks, refixed old tracks, and remixes of other bands, released on a USB stick to tide over the band’s burgeoning fanbase before the album proper. The music itself is similarly unconventional, a day-glo splatter of rave keyboards, choppy grime beats, wobbling basslines and chundering guitars cut and spliced together with seemingly little care for structure or coherency. It’s at its best when it’s at its silliest--take the chorus of "Liquid Lives", which recalls The Prodigy in all their snotty prime, frontman James Smith chanting "Drink! Smoke! Fuck! Fight!" over scraped-knuckle guitars and clattering breakbeats. The remixes, too, are an inspired idea: Bloc Party’s "The Prayer" and Plan B’s "No More Eatin’" get peppered with bleeps and dropped in amongst the chaos. Sadly, the mixtape’s weaker moments, like "Tuning It"--an unpleasant story of a nightclub seduction that shows off some of James’ shortcomings, both as storyteller and rapper-–suggests Hadouken! have some work to do before they can pull off a whole album. –- Louis Pattison
CD Description
This debut full-length from the dayglo Leeds grindie band is a "mixtape" featuring six new songs, remixes of single tracks, and their remixes of other artists, notably Bloc Party and Plan B. Here, their ultra-modernist mashup of grime, metal, punk and pop - which has seen them crowned forerunners of the "new rave" scene - is as frantic as ever, and appeals directly to their predominantly teenaged and tech-savvy fanbase by being the first ever USB stick only music release.
