Release Notes:
If there's one band in the North who've attracted
some much deserved and extremely healthy reviews
it's Autokat. Yet even within the Manchester scene
they remain something of an enigma. Yet the blinding
and intoxicating 'Innocence' provides further
evidence that this band are one of the most exciting
musical units currently active within the city. This
track borrows heavily from both 'Hollow Inside'
(Buzzcocks) and 'Sin In My Heart' (Banshees) as it
rips into a sturdy post-industrial anthem informed
by spine tingling instrumental segments and razor
sharp vocals. 'Short Circuit' is a moody ballad that
drags its armour plated rumbles into more genteel
territories, by slicing in direct melodies and
ethereal guitar twangs û the powerhouse behind it
all surfaces on the chorus, which slowly flexes the
bands muscular, urbanised northern rock with a
sullen pride. Autokat, therefore - dragging
Manchester back to its roots and not before time
too. MMMM 1/2
