All the way from America via the immense Sub Pop label is Male Bonding……..what?.........their from DALSTON!!!!!!!
That’s right folks, a trio from North London are releasing an album (their 3rd) on Sub Pop. Unsure as to how that happened, well so are TT but from the opening riff of ‘Tame The Sun’ its not hard to see why. Embodying Sonic Youth’s ‘Goo’ and Jesus and Mary Chain’s ‘Upside Down’ the album is an instant hit. I mean melody and distorted guitar sounds, what’s not to like?
Carrying and Seems to Notice have such sumptuous guitar licks it beggars belief that The Drums are even bothering with a 2nd album. the aid back nature of The Drums ‘I Wanna Go Surfing’ is made to look futile with MB’s emphasis on urgency and energy.
Since the emergence of Wavves the renaissance of music similar to Pavement, Sonic Youth and the Mary Chain is becoming more and more prominent. Christ, even Sebadoh are touring again! With a little luck Male Bonding look as though they are about to time their assault of the airwaves to perfection. Plus, with Howler’s debut release round the corner they are the perfect prelude.
