The Relatives
Everybody's Cynical
Label: Spank Records Release Date: 15/07/2002
Mmm... thrumming bass, distorted vocals and a riff driven Superman/Lois Lane name-checking direction. The Relatives have got it pretty sorted here.
A harder direction than previous single 'Triplex Sun' with it's Beach Boys harmonising and summery sounds, this is far more dark, rocky and distorted without falling into any kiddie-angst posturing in a Vex Red stylee. Less angst, more power rock-pop, that's what this is about.
"This is over it's over again. Well I'm Lois Lane, and you're Superman." que left handed guitar solo
coming out 2 weeks before their debut album, 'Everybody's Cynical' could be hitting more than just a handful of Kerrang! kids' CD players this summer... perhaps even some real people as well eh?
