Sonic Torpedoes | Hazy

A promising debut.
EP, Fatsounds

Tekst: Martÿn ter Haar

Publicatiedatum: 17 juni 2002

This London band releases its debut EP both on PVC and (free of charge) on the Internet. The title track is a very Girls Against Boys-type thing, with fuzzed-out guitars, electronics, heavy bass, and monotonous vocals. Pretty good, actually.

One of the laws of rock music is that songs with gimmicky titles suck. :-] might have been worse, considering that the title is about as gimmicky as it gets. Still it is by far the worst song of the album, sounding like a rejected EMF track.

Closer Chrome Age is a return to form, somewhere between Primal Scream and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Again the dark voice of Philippine-born singer Napoleon Catilo stands out. All in all, a promising debut.
