Red Room -Demo EP
Indie/Alternative Rock/Pop
The four track Demo-EP
from the Taunton 4 piece Red Room is worth a listen. Red Room (I'm
not sure if that's a reference to Fifty Shades or Twin Peaks) is a
solid unit who sound like they have been playing for a long time but
they are a bunch of whipper snappers , so they have put the hours in
of hard work and it shows.
The guitar work is
nothing short of arse-kicking (given the lead guitarist is in the
sublime The Happy-Sads is no surprise.Has he sold his soul to the
Devil at the Crossroads ? ), a solid rhythm section and the breathy
lead vocals sound like an asthmatic Paolo Nutini , which I am sure
the ladies in particular will love and have grown on me.
Wild is a catchy
tune that everyone can join in with, Gruelish has a little bit
more menace and some filthy dirty guitar,the lyrics are my cuppa
tea (I do love a cuppa). Friends In High Places is more dreamy
and then steps up a gear then down again leading up to a crescendo.
'Rules Breed the Rebels' starts
off like a Black Sabbath number with a hint of Rage Against The
Machine and it keeps a taste of that despite simultaneously being an
indie tune, I'm not sure quite how this track works but it does and
it rock's hard, my favourite of the lot 'I just say what's
on my mind' .
All good tracks , good
lyrics and hooks , these guys will only get better and it's scary! I
saw Red Room live and I suggest you bust out your wallet, let the
moths fly, buy this demo then go see these guys play because they are
even better live.
