However i feel compelled to say something about this.
Fearless Vampire Killers,
Ok i'm not going to pretend i know alot about this band, but besides tonight i have only ever heard good things about them.
now i had a few metal images in my head when i first heard their name, and it turns out i was right about them. You can instantly tell from their name what they are going to look like. In this case i thought they looked something straight out of an Edgar Allen Poe novel... And yes i was correct.
is this a bad thing?
NO
on first appearance these guys already stand out. Black eyes and talcum powder on their faces and the must have got a bit over excited and got some on their clothes aswell.
For me to look at i initially said to myself "This going to go really well, Or really badly" normally i would shun a band for wearing more make up then an essex girl on the pull (unless they were from the 80's)
these dudes already have a selling point a unique look. they look like the illegitimate love child of Aiden, The Horrors and Panic! At The Disco. Let me explain why,
I say Aiden very loosely but the reason i do say this is simply because of the powder pale face and black eyes.
I say The Horrors, well because just look at them.
And i say Panic! At The Disco simple because it looks like they have jumped straight out a cabaret
THESE GUYS LOOK THE PART
Now lets focus to the most important part the sound
i was blown away by how fucking tight these guys are, they have been planning domination for a long time its obvious! nothing was out of place. Now to me they do sound like a dirty indie/ shock punk band which is a refreshing change to some of the shit we get on the local scene.
they do remind me of a young My Chemical Romance especially the first album and the darker side of Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.
I physically cannot fault their live performance, they were energetic and fun to watch. i want to see this band again, and again, and again.
so in summery they have the look, they have the sound, and they have the energy!
GIVE THESE GUYS A LISTEN
i promise you will not regret it!
P.S - if i was a head of a record label i would snap these guys up before someone else does these guys have the potential to have a major impact on the mainstream! and i really hope they do
tonight guys you made a big fan
