Hana Piranha - Sweetest Thing
Release Date: 29th April 2013
I seem to be developing a bit of
'a thing' for talented female singers from New Zealand at the moment. First
there was Kimbra and then the awesome Death In Texas but now, well now there is
Hana Piranha. Hana intrigues me and, although I'm not totally in love with this
debut single, 'Sweetest Thing', the combination of beefy rock riffs, razor sharp
violin licks and a drawled, snarly vocal that Juliette Lewis would kill for is
not one to be ignored. PJ Harvey, Patti Smith and Garbage are given as obvious
and understandable influences but there are tones of the Stooges, Placebo and the
Yeah Yeah Yeahs bursting out of this
song too. This isn't the best song I've heard this month but Hana Piranha is
definitely one of the most intriguing, beguiling and attention grabbing artists
I've had the pleasure to discover this year. And let's face it, no music worth
its salt is instantly accessible is it?
