Release Notes:
To be honest, you can't get a better title than Playground Politics at
the moment, what with the budget giving our hard-earned taxes to people
who can't be bothered to get a job, or want to get themselves a brand
spanking new car╦ so I thought I'd better give the Wall Street Riots a
run for their money.
Sadly, these guys won't be rioting in the Houses Of Parliament and
drumming some sense into Alistair Darling, but they might just be able
to find themselves drumming up a fan base in the UK this summer, if
their EP is anything to go by.
I can't quite put my finger on just who they sound like, there's a mix
of pop / punk / ska / rock and to be quite honest, just about every
musical genre they can get their minxy little fingers on' they site
their influences as everything from Poison The Well, Glassgaw and
Thursday to Gallows, Refused and Biffy Clyro, with just a little bit of
Lily Allen, Hilary Duff and System of a Down added to shed loads of
Electro and Bassline. Love it!
Although their massive range of influences fails to make them stand out
from the crowd quite as much as I'd hoped, they do end up sounding like
a poor man's You Me At Six who has been listening to slightly too much
Panic! At The Disco, but either way, the rest of the girls are
championing these kids, and with the four singles on the EP, being of a
pretty good standard, they do have the potentional to make it
somewhere.
