| The Holy Orders - The Deuce Of Hearts |
Release Date: Out Now
What is it about playing cards
and rock'n'roll that is so inextricably linked? I mean, we all know about the
'Ace of Spades' but nobody ever sings about playing dominoes, backgammon or a
nice game of Risk do they? Ah well, one day perhaps. In the meantime,
Kingston-Upon-Hull quartet are keeping up the tradition with 'The Deuce Of
Hearts' and we should be glad. A scratchy, Manics inspired riff gets things
going before the song settles in to a slow but determined rhythm that swaggers
with the rough edged panache of a bum drinking from a stolen bottle of Moet.
This is a booze soaked, skin of the teeth ballad that the Pogues would be proud
of as the vocals get increasingly desperate and the guitars pummel your every
sense, building to an inevitable and unstoppable conclusion. Lo-fi isn't quite
the word for this but rough diamond seems closer to the truth. No wait, rough
diamond white. That's better.
