At Power Chord, we love nothing more than endless debates with our friends about the latest hyped beyond belief band. So we decided for this brand spanking new feature, that we would get the people of the future's thoughts on the apparent "future" of music. For the first one, we've got Brother. Both the media and the band themselves reckon they are going to be the next biggest rock band in the world ever. They are being labeled by most as a cheeky update on Brit Pop which was previously made awesome by Blur, Oasis and Pulp. Sounds good. We asked each of our judges to listen to the track "Darling Buds Of May" available on Brother's website. Let's see what our judges thought...
STUART FRASER
P.C : First Impressions?
S.F: Crap name, indie guitar stuff that doesn't really interest me.
P.C : Hype Worthy?
S.F: If you like.
P.C : Remind You Of Anything?
S.F: Indie and guitars.
P.C : Are They The Future Of Music?
S.F: Anyone who makes a sound is.
P.C: First Impressions?
J.C: Meh. The guitars are wonderful on this song but his voice is horrible.
P.C: Hype Worthy?
J.C: A little, don't go crazy.
P.C: Remind You Of Anything?
J.C: BLUR. BBBBBBBLLLLLLLUUUUUUURRRRRR.
P.C: Are They The Future Of Music?
J.C: No, they're the past done to a good standard.
RUSS EICHMANN
R.E: Heard hype. I'm always judgemental of hype. Softer than I thought.
P.C: Hype Worthy?
R.E: Like I said. Hype: Not my thing. (except those Vaccines, but that was pre-hype). Meh says it all.
P.C: Remind You Of Anything?
R.E: Darling Buds of May: That show where they just drink tea and sit around doing nothing. That. Just musical.Time Machine: Since when did Cage The Elephant get mellow and stu- oh. I see what they did here.
P.C: Are They The Future Of Music?
R.E: If by future of music you mean people falling asleep or the industry dieing, yeah. On a side note: I can see why people like it, and it's fairly alright music. Nothing magical. Or special. Prefer me some upbeat faster music, even though I do like some slow indie tunes. However this just feels like my dull physics lecturer picked up a guitar and sang. Kinda.
A mostly positive response to Brother then, a lot of opinions either being "don't like it" or "it's ok". We at Power Chord love a bit of Brother, so they at least have a place in our hearts.
