Tokyo Police Club: Nature of the Experiment review

Here's a really interesting piece of new rock from an up and coming band you might have heard of. Wow that was a mouthful! And so is Tokyo Police Club. Well, they're more like an earful actually.

Feels like everything on this track is pushed to the front of the mix. All the instruments are right at the top of everything and loud, expecially the gritty, slightly over driven slightly clean sounding guitar. I mean it's just weird folks. I know I'm talking in a lot of paradoxes but just listen to the damn thing and tell me if I'm wrong.

It does manage to work though, even with all the contrasts. It's just very inventive and fresh sounding. I particularly like the male and female vocals winding around each other.

those wacky Canadians....god love 'em.....

The Shaky Hands - new tune "We Are Young"

Hey there sugar. How about some nice, fresh rock that you haven't heard? Yeah? Like the sound of that? Well here's a nice hot dish....kinda like me.....ha! Check out this band The Shaky Hands ~ I got some mp3's and stuff for you below.

This band is from Portland, Oregon but their sound is a throw back to the British Invasion. They have the same energy as The Kinks, but with a modern sheen to their sound. All of them are talented but the drummer and vocalist really stand out! You know I really dig this rock and roll music that grew outta my blues. Makes me glad that all the hard times I went through led to something great.
