| Radio Radio - Capulets EP |
Oh I do like to follow the
progress of bands from the early, early days and watch them grow and develop.
South London boys Radio Radio sent me their demo of 'Weird Alice' a while back
and they've gone and formed themselves a whole EP, it's the natural progression
of things. The open with jaunty, summery, acoustic lead 'In Cold Blood' which
brings to mind bands along the lines of the Zutons, the Coral and the View at
their most playful. The stomp and pomp of the aforementioned 'Weird Alice' is
up next with its fast shuffle and repeated taunts to our poor damsel Alice. 'Subway'
has an almost 60s New York drawl to it along with the muted guitars and
sneering vocals. Finally, a title track of sorts in 'Fine Young Capulet' which
is straight out of the Alex Turner book of song writing which features two
rules; keep the tempo up and try to get as many syllables in as possible.
Overall, the EP weighs in at a speedy 11 minutes but the four songs contained
within that time show enough promise to expect that Radio Radio should go on to
bigger and better things.
