| anon User Info... | The debut album from Vancouver's TV Heart Attack finally hits the shelves and it turns out to be the unreleased Speed To Kill album. This isn't a bad thing, mind you. Not one bit. Darkly urban-futuristic Eurocentric cyber-glam, if you can dig it. Murky themes of anguished love and jagged hate-f***ing, and the ongoing struggle to remain proud and alive when there's nothing left to believe in. Jason Corbett's always been a good lyricist (and the stories he tells is far darker than the person he really is), but musically, this band is miles ahead of most of what you'll see and hear in the Vancouver scene. That's due to Corbett choosing his bandmate henchmen wisely. Not quite the sort of thing which will make the alpha hipsters shit their emo girl jeans at Pat's Pub, but this is a unique form of post-modern rock which will attract the well-heeled malcontents who live west of Granville Street, or will catch the ears and minds of the thinking rock fans who still own stuff by the Cure and the first three (ie. the best) U2 albums. Or people who wish that Franz Ferdinand would stop writing happy, goofy songs and tell us what they're really thinking when the ecstasy wears off. Listening to this album makes me believe that some good actually came out of 2006 after all. - Ferdy Belland http://www.myspace.com/tvheartattack - Tue, 20 Feb 2007 10:22pm | ||
