| The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco - The Cruise Control EP |
This is ace. These guys emailed
me saying "We think you might dig our EP" and man do I dig it?! Just
to clear up any confusion, I absolutely do dig it. The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco are
an Essex combo but that is pretty much all I know about them other than the
fact that they rev my engine. 'Cruise Control', the opening track, is like a
cross between Cake, Ben Folds Five, Prince and Beck which, as 'cross betweens'
go, is pretty damn ace. 'The Legend of Josi & The Juke' is a Hammond driven
tune with the feel of a Burt Reynolds them tune and the guts'n'glory of Lynyrd
Skynyrd riding in to town to be perfect gentlemen...unless you cross 'em -
cowboy rock'n'soul if you like.
'List Song' is a mellower affair
with a nice head-bob to it as the organs undulate and that gorgeous bass guitar
just gently nudges the song along in the right direction. Final track,
'Breakfast Of Kings' (great title), has a gorgeous sway to it like an East End
boozer at closing time with Chas'n'Dave replace by a couple of cowboys with
thick, lustrous moustaches and mischievous glints in their eyes. I love it when
people get what I might like through what I've written on the blog - it either
suggests they've read it or it's just a lucky punt. Either way, The 1957
Tail-Fin Fiasco are an awesome bunch and I look forward to hearing more from
them (including some gigs at some point, come on guys, break that stuff out
live for us).
