demo - If anything/Boys
on fire
STAR CHOICE - NUDGE
Take a pinch of U2's heady anthemics and the momentous vigour of the Smashing Pumpkins and you'll have a decent idea of how promising Nudge sound.
The opening track 'If
Anything' heads straigt for the jugular; combining sneering vocals, discordant
guitar and wall to wall choruses to create a devastating but hypnotic wave
of noise.
The B-side 'Boys
On Fire' is subtler, but all the better for it; namely histrionic angst but
with a gentle dynamic the likes of Placebo would kill for.
The production does have an alarming '80s edge, but this is promising stuff nevertheless.
