Newcastle-upon-Tyne band The Rt
Hon Kings Of The Cosmos are men of few words and little internet presence.
Their email to me, in its entirety said "Hello, thought you might like
this, or maybe not...ta" so I'm kinda hoping that the music speaks to me a
little more. This three track EP starts with the fantastically honest 'If I Was
In Charge Of The Red Button We'd All Be Dead' which is a scratchy, shaky piece
of garage scuzz with a punk ethic and literally not a care in the world about
whether you like it or not. 'Half Alive' starts off like a slow dance in the
50s before turning in t a mental, space aged piece of scitzoid-psyche rock with
some almost free-form Jazz drumming going almost at odds with the rest of the
song. The closing track is the politically charged 'Con-Dem Nation (Apathy In
the UK)' which swirls and distorts until the sound disappears down a sink-hole
to another Universe. The scary thing is I really don't know what to make of all
this noise. It's scuzzy, distorted, garage punk which is all well and good but
I can't help but feel there is something missing - what that is I couldn't tell
you but whatever it is, it's not quite there. Yet...
