Release Date: 24th February 2014
There are a few bands that seem
to crop up in the LWM inbox more and more frequently these days and Newcastle
quartet Bernaccia are, thankfully, one such band. This latest release, 'Armada',
is a three track delight for those who like their music with atmosphere,
attitude and a sense that there is more to making music than getting your logo
right and having matching haircuts. 'Armada' opens affairs but sounds like the
end of the world with a very Apocalypse Now feel to it as the distorted bass of
Kieran Healy keeps things chugging along and the guitars swirl all around you
like debris in a sand storm. Never fear, though, the four horsemen of the
anti-apocalypse come riding in on 'Circuit Ryder (Oh My)' with a wild west feel
and some serious tub thumping from drummer Chris Cox. These guys are here to
save the day, save the world and all they ask for in payment is your soul which
you will gladly give once you see the alternatives. The final track of the
three is 'No Home For The Buffalo', a five minute epic of blues infused
atmospheric rock'n'roll with a sense of purpose that could soundtrack footage
of a chain gang working away under a blistering sun and the watch of a
remorseless guard. This is the first part of a trilogy of releases under the
Cinema title that will see the band release a single a month, each one
accompanied by an exclusive piece of artwork. Listen up young pups, this is how
you do music and this is how you release it to keep people interested. Superb
stuff.
