This is something different two women and two men and a pounding beat thats bass and drum driven with traditional foot stomping beats and plenty of well written words. With a slightly dirty country music feel. They swap duties of bass playing between the two girls and one dons an electric mandolin.
Its foot stomping music with a /gothic Siouxie like vocal it reminds me of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds a lot which is no bad thing. Its energetic and spiky and wonderfully delivered. The rhythms sound at times like traditionally Scottish folk but its masked and fuzzed up. Wonderful stuff and their album The Repulsion List is now top of my list to buy and had a great time leaping about to them.
