Sisteray – Sisteray Said (Vallance Records)
Sisteray - Sisteray Said
Release Date: Out Now
Londoners Sisteray might just be
the last of the proper indie bands. They gig, they write, they rile and they do
it all at 100mph with no seat belts on. The ‘Sisteray Said’ EP is their calling
card of intent but by the time you’ve taken a moment from your busy schedule to
listen to it they’ll be on to the next gig so don’t hang about. Recent single ‘Wannabes’
gets things rattling along with a stylish riff and some Franz Ferdinand swagger
and Glam-Punk attitude whilst jabbing a finger squarely in the faked tanned faces
of the vacuous fame hungry masses clogging the airwaves in 2018.
‘Rumour Mill’ has the rhythm section
of Arctic Monkeys at their peak, the kitchen-sink drama of Mark E. Smith
fronting the Long Blondes and the hips of Jarvis Cocker in the mood for
seduction. The guitars that open up ‘Algorithm Prison’ are straight out of a
sweaty, basement rehearsal before they launch in to the kind of indie-punk that
only the likes of Cassels are producing at the moment. A simple but effective
Clash-esque bass line heralds the start of last song and title track ‘Sisteray
Said’ which flirts hard with intensity before delivering with a dizzying climax
that should, with any justice, mean that all of their live shows finish in a
sweaty, feedback blur. Urgent, lean and vital stuff from a band truly in their
element.
