Sometimes
it can all go wrong when taking inspiration from music genres such as punk and (the
good bits of) grunge. Luckily Edinburgh lot The Seven Deadly Sins (also the name of a song by Irish punk outfit Flogging Molly, fact fans) have managed
to avoid this trap. Aside from keeping the Edinburgh based hairspray and black
t-shirt vendors in business, they also create and perform a bevy of extremely
well made musical output. For an example please click the big side-ways triangle
below...
Plus,
anyone who can include closed brackets and the words Awoo woo woo is a winner in our books. Formed in early 2010, the four man band have
since supported the likes of The Damned and have headlined well known Scottish
venues such as Liquid Room, King Tut’s and Cabaret Voltaire. On top of all the
whoring out to multiple live venues they also took it upon themselves to
organise and play a monthly jaunt at our very own Cabaret Voltaire in September
last year. Their Deadly Night Out effort went as far as sourcing and (more
importantly) caring about their support acts; thumbs up to them. Bands actually
caring about who they play a gig with is becoming glaringly uncared for when
you look at some gig line-ups... (oooh
bitchy etcetc.)
We’ve
mentioned at LEAST twice before that we like artists who make an effort with
not only the audio but the visuals. See above for a video – yes a proper one,
the kind that when you type ‘The Seven Deadly Sins, Edinburgh’ into YouTube it
doesn’t come up with some shitey
back of the crowd mobile phone filmed effort. They also provide excellent
photography output...
One guy never got the black t-shirt memo. Answers on a postcard. |
There we are, two lovely examples so far as to how we aren’t liars.
Anyway, for people who enjoy artists such as Dinosaur Jr,
Lemonheads, a wee bit Elliot Smith, Blind Melon and Teenage Fanclub then we guarantee
you will like listening to at least ONE if not ALL of their songs.
Coincidently, The Seven Deadly Sins release their EP in June this year and a UK
tour is to follow – this is something that as a supposed ‘fan’ of the aforementioned
bands you should DEFINATLEY GET INVOLVED IN.
