This is the debut 7” by a new female singer/guitar lead
band from the UK. I saw them opening for Pentagram back in December 2011 and
they were pretty cool. Anyway, I was blown away that a band like this can sell
out a 7” of 500 copies in a week, when they have played many shows or really
had a lot of press. Anyway, Rocking Horses is a dreamy track to start with a
passionate vocal that turns a bit darker as the song evolves. The keyboard
becomes more prominent as the track builds and there is a short solo section
and then back to singing. The track tells a cool story! Twos and Ones is quite
a dynamic track with this really cool up and down phased rhythm that I quite
like. The vocal delivery is really cool and they have a short guitar jam at the
end as well. A very cool track. When I saw them live I was reminded a lot of Blood Ceremony
and I think many will still make this comparison. They will play in Denmark in May and also at Roadburn.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
