must be something in the air of 2012, but there seems to be a sudden disappearance of crunchy compressed to f*ck synth presets in most of the stuff being aimed @ ireallylovemusic hq these days, and long may this continue.
don’t get me wrong, i still listen to ke$ha whenever the need arises, but it’s great that things have moved on.
anyway, the next pointer is for those of you who are clamouring for more of that good old fashioned garage rock.
apparently the use of the term ‘flick knife surf’ in my post about the good and the bad raised the eyebrows of these brycreem’d up hackey based youngsters, and, having listened to their 3 demos on a loop now for 30 minutes, i can hear why they too would like to have such an association.
the rough lo-fi production, finger lickin’ riffs, and a snarled lip ‘tude may invoke comparisons to the early days of the libertines, but without the pretensions of a 6th form poet.
thankfully.
summary : liam watson and his toerag studios could probably do wonders for this lot.
