Already known to The UK as The Top NME Breaking Band of 2008,
UK TV's T4 Mobile Act, having also featured in The Sun, UK's Top
Newspaper,
& The Scott Mills Radio show on BBC's Radio 1.
Their Music influences are the
sounds of
The Prodigy, Chemical Bros, Gorillaz, Massive Attack.
Hitting many big UK Venues in recent times and still currently playing
London's Camden Town Hot music scene.
They have released a EP entitled, " My
London."
Strong vocal sounds ringing to my ears straight off as The Streets in
many tracks but with a great Punk/Rock music sounds to back it up and
finish it off perfectly.
Wow! what can i say -- I was not expecting The Mike Skinner-style
vocals to go with this music but it blends so well it is truly awesome!
The EP I received is a 5 tracker consisting of:
Night Train
Under Pressure
My London
Silver Lining
Dance
& Dole (sample)
Teenage Tribe (sample) --
found on their myspace.
All the songs varied in styles, in regards to the music.
Starts to slow offbeat rock to a crash of some upbeat Punk styles
totally meshed all well with the vocalists' classic style off with pure
rawness & attitude which is very unique.
I also loved the "Dole"
sample on their myspace.. very smooth vocals and sounds -- with more
singing in this one than vocalist vocals which blended so well along
with the other tracks.
The London sounds
shined through his polished London accent which gives the whole CD such
character.
The different styles and sounds made it exciting & great to
listen to, the music & originality totally rocks!
I can see a lot more progression waves from this band coming, I hope
& totally expect to see them shining brightly at the top
sometime soon! They have hit the UK with a storm -- watch out USA! Here
they come!"
