Onto Fear of Music who release their debut 7"/CDs on Fastermusic.
It's called 'We Are Not The Enemy' and it's medium paced average indie type gear
which is very MTV2 and it reminds me of Cooper Temple Clause, Feeder
and other such great, great bands. Am being terribly polite about this bit we
think it's a bit rubbish. I'm sure it's gonna make someone reasonably rich
quickly......
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
We Are Not The Enemy is the latest release from Manchester’s Fear Of Music, the band that infamously won big at In The City while still at school. Two years on, they’re taking on the big boys . Following the John Leckie-produced Fast, Faster, Fastest EP, this is another scarily good release from the newest, greatest art-rockers on the scene.
Heading the EP, We Are Not The Enemy is a hybrid of Fear Of Music’s trademark dark punk and stamping glam rock, their ballsiest track to date. A Blueprint takes things down a notch, with atmospheric pianos, chiming guitars and dynamic textures before The Sheets Twist takes us back into heavy riff territory. In all, it’s another impressive collection from a band who are fast emerging as one of the best of their generation, not least for singer Jo Rose’s apocalyptic lyrics. But in time-honoured fashion, he’ll never reveal what’s really behind them.
