| Demo of the week |
IT’S funny, and maybe depressing, that what essentially
is a bluesy rock record is the cheeriest demo in the pile this week.
The Circle, a smart rhythm ‘n’ blues outfit from Coventry
(you didn’t think there was such a thing), are the perfect
antidote to the rubbish cod-Coldplay nonsense that fills the DotW
postbag each week.
We’ve had enough slit-your-wrists, depressing indie music already
so the next band to send me some nonsense about being lonely and
how rubbish the world is will feature in a Demo-lition bucket.
They will be panned and Grooves will tell music fans to steer clear
of their boring gigs.
The Circle’s sound is not revolutionary or amazingly original,
but it’s competent – and when you go through as many demos
as Grooves does every week, sometimes that’s all you want in
a band.
Sound snippets are available at www.thecircleonline.com, as well
as full track The Kaleidoscope.
There’s a soothing blues harp surfing a rattling guitar groove.
This is perfect end of the day, sunset stuff. It’s bluesy but
you won’t be blue.
• Send your promo to: Demo of the Week, 40 Camden Road,
NW1 9DR. Only the most memorable feature. |
