Demo Review: The Liars Club

[Region: Seattle, WA]
[Label: Unsigned]

By taking the influential sound of the 90s Seattle scene and mixing it with the strong pop melodies of 60s rock bands, The Liars Club give us deeply rhythmic, fuzzed-up anthems that are both comforting and dynamic.

‘Wide Open Beaver’ is a rich, bustling wallop of an opener, echoing the Queens Of The Stone Age’ bass-heavy sound with machine-gun vocals rapidly firing off lines. ’Wedgewood Hop’ is the star of the show, wallowing in dark chords with the fuzz on the guitars making them sound like the band are underwater whilst the vocal is initially a clear and present whisper before it opens out into a laconic swagger.

There’s much about this band that has been heard before but it seems crazy that a record label hasn’t yet picked them up. Songs like the sprightly ‘Trust Fund’ with its monster rock riffery or the combination of steady guitar picking and lilting Kings Of Leon croon on ‘Born On A Friday’ should have the record execs hammering at their door. In three words, this… band… rocks.

For Fans Of: Queens Of The Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Kings Of Leon
