The Shondes - The Red Sea
Newest Review: ... a revelation and a breath of fresh air but I don't find their approach particularly radical. The album has as many annoying ... more  ... tracks as it does catchy melody, the key is clearly in the catchy guitar riffs, the vocals vary from a similar sound to Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries at her best through to the most drama-filled nauseating tedious female indie rock vocals you could imagine through to the occasional punk shout. I wanted to like The Shondes as the New York punk scene continuously comes up with a nice mixture of world music and rock - Gogol Bordello, Firewater etc.
It will take more from The Shondes than their outspoken though...more |

Very listenable, lots of variation and excitement 
None Extremely lively and enjoyable None Eros' amazing voice, Good mix of different kinds of songs, Almost all the songs are amazing Album can be expensive and difficult to findSome of the songs sound a bit dated Some excellent guitar playing still Too many people singing at once, a bit slow and depressing May have been rare at the time of their conception Competition is too tough now Better than ANYTHING in the charts, this is a beautiful piece of work. My Heineken Keg isn't as strong as the rest, but that's an indication of the high standard!Pandemonium: The Singles Collection - BWO
