So now to the bands of today that actually matter. Cos they're good, rise way above the hype & release thought provoking, original music. Arcade Fire are Rough Trade's latest bagging & with immediate effect they make me think of The Walkmen. FB says The Waterboys but his hearing is tuned into a rusty wireless in an underground bunker in Shitflap, Nowheresville. There's dozens of bands you could namecheck but I'll just say this Montreal 5 piece are a shining beacon of hope in today's cannibalistic desperate musical climate. 'Funeral' is a lovingly packaged collection of great rock songs Grand, stirring, fascinating, moving & incredibly adept & accomplished. 10 tracks on CD & G/Fold vinyl.Be the first to review this record.
