'TERMINALLY LIVE'
A band consisting of former members of various bands, including Lightning Strikes, Under Two Flags and Big Audio Dynamite.
I really wasn’t sure what to expect and, to be totally honest, I was expecting something a bit darker, considering Under Two Flags original post-punk releases.
But this CD is actually full of exuberant upbeat songs that don’t really have too much direct reference to the previous bands.
The music is brash and resilient, taking-in r’n’b and Soul from its’ original Sixties roots (rather than the flaccid dross that use those monikers these days) but dragging it through early Seventies Street Glam (Mott the Hoople) Punk and New Wave (Strummer / Elvis Costello) and even a hint of Springsteen, to bring it all firmly into the here and now. Seven tracks that bristle with energy and attitude.
The lyrics and vocal delivery are very British (and more specifically, London) sounding even while they caste their net much further afield in search of musical ingredients.
They’re obviously talented musicians but rather than just showing-off their abilities, the music retains a real authenticity and gut level accessibility that really ought to see them appealing to a very wide audience. It’s all a matter of whether they get the exposure they deserve, but in the meantime, all I can say, is catch them as soon as you can. The CD is a very limited edition so track down a copy soon.
