| The Tuesday Club - New Glamour |
Release Date: 7th April 2014
When I were a lad all this were
just fields....sorry, what I mean is, when I was at university in Sheffield a
group of us would regularly head down to the student union at the posh uni (we
were at the old poly) and get our Drum'n'Bass fix at something called the
Tuesday Club. I was never that keen on Drum'n'Bass but once you've been to all
the indie-alternative nights it's nice to try something different. This release
has nothing to do with those nights or Drum'n'Bass but it did make me relieve
those nights for a brief moment and recall the taste of Jagermeister shots.
This two track single starts with 'New Glamour' which is a slinky, swaggering
piece of rock'n'roll fun that the likes of Space, the Blockheads or Frank
Zappa might chop out with eccentric
vocals and big organ stabs to drive things along. 'New Glamour' is an entirely
entertaining piece of pop-punk-rock but at over four minutes long it sort of
falls between the cracks in that it is neither instant and snappy nor
meandering and explorative. The other track on this release is 'Old Before Your
Time', another four minuter, which has a great B52s style intro and some fuzzy
guitars that go brilliantly with the gang style vocals. The slightly odd thing
though is that this is prime three piece power-pop indie-rock but there 8
(that's eight) of them which doesn't really come across in the music as not one
of them is even playing the Bagpipes or penny whistle. A missed opportunity to
mess with the genre methinks!
