3 Storeys High -
When The Words Won't Come
Reviewed: 5th November 2005
This CD has been sat with me for a few weeks now, whilst people pile all
sorts of crap on my desk, and I tend to direct it towards the nearest
dustbin, this is one of the few CDs Ive had to review in about 6 months which
is worth far more than a place in someones CD rack, clocking up the
occasional listen, let alone, my computer desk.
Fact is this: Ill put my balls on the line and say 3SH are probably the most
underrated pop-punk band in the U.K. They have all the ingredients to turn an
average gig into a memorable night, a simple song into a long lasting
sing-a-long, a gathering into a party and plain bog standard punk music into
youth inspiring energy. And if you check out one of their shows then youll
know exactly what I mean. Their 7 track E.P, released on Kidsmoke Records is
an amazing debut and its blatantly obvious they are cut above the rest from
the first 5 minutes worth.
Opener Maybe Next Time is classic sing a long, but its raw guitars take it
away from anything that may drag it down into Busteds world, and as the E.P
moves onwards, My Poinsettia with its warm keyboards and relaxed mood shows
the bands diversity and their ability to want to produce a record that isnt
just them playing the same 5 chords in different ways. The same piano
features at the end of the E.P in Someone where the band almost re-define
themselves and begin to cross genre into a very soul seeking emotional sound,
very Stray light Run. 10 on 10 for this feature, its certainly a breath of
fresh air, and originality in amongst a genre that so many bands think they
can pull.
This isnt just four guys who are making their first steps beyond Green Day
covers, nor is it 4 guys who wear their guitars by their shoe laces and their
caps side wards to look cool, in fact this isnt even four guys who started a
band to get the girls (actually, thats arguable) 3SH are the epitome of DIY,
and they are a perfect working example to any young musician who is turning
around to people like me, website owners, labels, promoters and other high
industry bigwigs saying Why isnt my band doing well? 3SH cut the crap, get in
a van and give you a good show, and then drive solid for 12 hours, and do it
again. Watch this band grow.
