| Venture - This One's For You |
This is the second release I've
reviewed from ska-punk Wiganers and I'm still of the conviction that, like them
or not, they stand out from the crowd. 'This One's For You' is the latest
single and it retains the band's undeniable ska feel but blends in a more
mariachi feel with a sense of darkness behind the melodies. Then there's the
male vs female vocals and the switch between light, bouncy verses and heavy,
rockier choruses. Essentially this is what would happen if No Doubt and Skunk
Anansie took musical direction from early Eminem and Linkin Park but all with a
distinctly British accent. I wouldn't say this is my favourite track of the
year, probably not even in my top 10 but the style of this band certainly
stands out its own in a great sea of similar sounding acts.
