Our Rating:
It’s Nathan Barley’s fault. Mrs N is a fan of Sons of Bill and plays their album ‘Love & Logic’ in the car a lot. My four-year-old daughter loves it. And all I can do is visualise Nathan Barley swaggering out of a barber’s shop with paint in his hair, cropped short on one side, extended on the other, pointing to random strangers his cutting-edge ‘Geek Pie’ Barnett and saying ‘new fucking paradigm or what?’

So in some respect, these guys stood no chance when their CD landed on my doormat. But really, look at the cover of this EP for a minute. The band photo says it all, really. Do we need to know it was produced by ‘acclaimed’ studio men John Cornfield (Muse, Oasis, obet Plant) and Paul Corkett (The Cure, Placebo, Bjork) who are quoted as frothing that the three-piece who cite 30 Seconds to Mars and Pink Floyd amongst their influences as ‘one of the most fresh and exciting modern rock bands’ to figure out that they’re probably the Nathan Barley of alt-rock?

‘Realize’ features four songs which showcase some third or maybe fourth generation goth-influenced stuff with low-registering vocals coupled with some big, fizzy guitars and delivered with a sense of drama and bombast, not to mention tangible emotion. It’s not bad. By which I mean, it’s really not bad. In fact, it’s well jackson. And totally fucking Mexico. Peace and fucking. Believe.
