4.0 out of 5 stars This is the real glam/punk revival, 12 Jul 2004
This review is from: This Is For Real (Audio CD)
Being in your mid-40s has its advantages. For most musical styles you can say "Been there, listened to that, went to the gig." You can really say that with Pink Grease's debut album, but that's no bad thing. I was a teenager in the early 70s when glam rock was happening and, like many of my contemporaries who were bored with the prevalent west-coasty folk-rock of the time, embraced first glam and, in turn, its bastard child, punk. Pink Grease's roots are in that 71-79 period from the beginning of glam to the end of the first wave of punk with a little bit of modern blues thrown in for good measure.

Anyhow, This Is For Real is a good listen. I'm hearing The Glitterband (especially the drums and the occasional sax), The Cramps, Mott The Hoople, XTC, Iggy Pop, New York Dolls, Big Star, just a hint of various aspects the 75/76 CBGBs crowd, a bit of Devo, a snatch of The John Butler Trio and The White Stripes and lots more influences that I can't quite put my finger on, but they're all familiar and they're all fine. These guys have taken all the best aspects of good time rock and blended them all together to create their own unique sound. Hand-claps, weird synthy sounds, all over a rockin' beat and what sounds like a healthy sense of humour. Makes The Darkness look like a heavy metal band (derrrr), makes The Strokes sound tired and, like English bands are often wont to do, gives American rivals the Scissor Sisters a run for their money.

For oldie like me it's a nice trip down memory lane to a time when rock was fun (sorry Elton). How exciting it would be to be a 15 year old now with the glam revival in full swing. If you only buy one glam revival album this year, you couldn't go far wrong with Pink Grease. Shadoobee!

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this really it? Yes, 7 Jun 2004
By Ben Saunders (Oxford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
When you think of Sheffield, you think of grim northern steel workers and the harsh electro-industrial pioneers Cabaret Voltaire seemed to capture the sound perfectly in the 1980s. What you don't expect is Pink Grease, they don't fit in at all. While the six-piece have supported the likes of Suicide, Add N To (X) and Liars, their blend of synths, guitar-driven dance music and shameless enthusiasm for disco means they sound more akin to Danish popsters Junior Senior - who scored the surprise hit of last summer with 'Move Your Feet'.

Whether Pink Grease could match that feat, I'm not sure. Previous single 'Fever', however, effortlessly melds rock n roll with disco to produce an impressive statement of intent, while the more recent 'The Pink G. R. Ease' could be the bastard lovechild spawned from the loins of Electric Six and Scissor Sisters. Admittedly there are some clichéd moments - such as 'Party Live' - but they can be excused as self-referential irony going with the territory. It's not all the synthesised sex of 'Superfool' either, serious songs like 'Peaches' show the band aren't just a silly novelty act but potential future disco stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1970's glam revisited but it works.., 28 Aug 2004
I saw these guys on MTV laughed a lot then couldn't get the tune out of my head THE pink grease song.Not a bad album with enough energy to provide a lift should you require it.Reminiscent of Roxy, Mott ,Bowie and Trex so good company.It works for me so don't knock it.Emotional retard rocks enough for two and Fever is just too damn camp for words.Buckets of androgeny with this lot but given the sterile RnB and Bling Bling in the charts whats wrong with a good old bit of british Glam eh!
