Unexploded

Reviewed: 4-track EP

Something different for a change! The Unexploded's music is a nice breath of fresh air at the moment, and the next time a generic rock-by-numbers band claims to be alternative, I can say 'no', listen to the Unexploded - now that's alternative!

Its rocky, but in an electro / atmospheric kind of a way, and is, quite frankly, a bit difficult to describe. Think Sonic Youth at their rockiest meets a pissed off Pet Shop Boys with a bit of trip hop chucked in and you might be someway there. And all these elements combine to paint an obscure and haunting landscape that is, (again!) quite frankly, very European, very eerie and very very good.

Overall? It takes a lot to impress me at the moment, and the Unexploded have done just that. If there's any justice in the world, the Unexploded are going to massive. But unfortunately there isn't, which is a shame for them...
