Messyheads - "Say Something Stupid" CD single
...there is a wide range of musical influences thrown into the mix.....(CD was recorded) With a budget of zip,
...here is a band who cares.....I wondered if they have talent to match. I was not disappointed.
The sound of The Messyheads is quite unusual in modern music....it is a mixture........which should appeal just as much to the hardcore 70s rocker as the modern generation.....some
really quite heavy tracks with other mellow offerings.........refreshing to a reviewer who has heard far too much rubbish for words.
.....for once I can actually say that here is a band which do it right ....they're in it for the music not the money....
.....the music speaks for itself and I can strongly recommend anyone with a rocking bone in their body to check them out. Do it. Do it now |

The Messyheads
I listen to all types of music daily. You can catch me listening to jazz one minute and then punk rock the next, followed by some country, and topped off with swing. But, truth be told,
pop music is my favorite. Rocking power-pop that is crunchy and sunny, has both musical and lyrical chops, and isn't afraid to dive right into something and go from there. So, when
The Messyheads came across my desk, I was pleasantly surprised. There doesn't seem to be a lot of great power-pop bands out there right now. They've all crossed over into modern
rock to get the mainstream's attention. But, The Messyheads seem to be in it for the music. If not, they're very good at deception. At any rate, this three song CD single for "I'm No
One," is a punchy pop collection that demonstrates this is a band who has a lot of possibilities in 2000.
"I'm No One" is a bouncy, rocking power-pop song charged with attitude. The hooks go flying as the band reels you in with a steady rhythm section and a guitar that jumps between
roar and swirling hooks. "Stuck in a Place" finds the band settling down and delivering a soothing pop treat, while "All the Things She Said" mixes the wild rock attitude of Iggy
Pop with Beatles pop freshness and a bit of The Only Ones streaming through the song, too.
If you're looking for a good pop band, The Messyheads are one you should check out. Though I'm not a fan of three song CD's (they get too old too fast), the songs on here are great
and will help work this CD into my pleasure rotation a bit more than other three song CD's. One thing is for sure though, after listening to this album, I can't wait for a full-length.
I'll give it a B |
