I think that if you are after an original sounding band, you're after the wrong one. If, on the other hand, you are after some ace rock n roll tunes with an air of desperation, sex and a squalid existence, you have found one of the very best around. These are some of the bands/artists that Pink Reason remind me off, on occasion: Smog at his darkest Royal Trux The Velvet Underground The Jesus & Mary Chain of Psychocandy/ Barbed Wire Kisses Joy Division Certain Guided By Voices songs ''Down On Me'' could even be a song by The Strokes, if it didn't have that certain sleazy delivery that the band in question lacks. |

I just listened to them for the first time.
I found it decent. Interesting production... |

It's difficult to talk about production with a band like this. I mean, one of the things that struck me so much about Kevin DeBroux is that apparently he wrote a lot of these great songs on broken equipment at various stages of his, erm, existence. I also liked the story about an early incarnation of Pink Reason having a bonkers blind person in the line up as a singer.

i was wondering if i was daft for thinking cleaning the mirror is reminiscent of psychocandy without really sounding much like it, i guess it's the vocal delivery. they remind me a bit of luxurious bags too. |

First time I've listened to ''By A Thread'' I immediately thought of a number of songs on Jesus and Mary Chain's ''Barbed Wire Kisses'' because some of them sound both vocally and melodically like that song.

Another song that reminded me of the Jesus and Mary Chain is ''Up The Sleeve''. The drum machine pattern in the middle is identical to the one at the end of ''Sidewalking''. Couple that with the cavernous vocals on both the songs and it's not hard to hear.

These two are off a tape of the first Pink Reason recordings with the blind dude that I got off another thread started by Kevin:

i just read the pink reason article in blastitude from a while back, it was cool. apparently he wrote a lot of the debut album while strung out on crank, which is why the songs came out so long. i wud think speed would have the opposite effect, making you want to perfect the song into a three minute time frame, with no filler. like fleedwood mac on coke when they did 'rumours'.

I think that for quite a number of people these bands are not a 'fad' but more a vital alternative to a lot of bullshit music that is around. I don't care for the NME, but hat off to them for at least dedicating an article to some decent bands, for once.
Oh and the new U.S. Girls album is fucking YAY!. One of the best songs I have heard this year so far is 'Don't Understand That Man'. |

i meant the "label" part of my post, the other part not so much.
this is just the 967th permutation of garage rock really. it's going to be the next big alternative thing, that's for sure. |

But really, why do you care so much about that stuff? I enjoy the records, the attitude of quite a few of the bands, and that's enough for me.
A little correction: Garage rock doesn't so much mutate itself, it incorporates different elements from other type of music at times without changing its basic structure much at all. It's a surefire winner when it comes to rock formulas. |

yeah, it's makes a nice change that some good bands are getting attention.
i think they're probably all too fucked up sounding to really get that big, but we'll see. the only downside to those bands getting popular would mean having to see them play large venues. |
