Press Reviews 31/12/2000 LATEST REVIEW LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT - (SELF TITLED) A truly remarkable ep from this 3 piece Queensland based group, whose music has to be heard to be believed. It always makes me wonder when I hear anything as Good as this why they haven't succeeded in a bigger way yet, but their prodigious live sets seem to be building the much needed vibe. Once a few more people catch the sound of this band's music though, the vibe will explode around them & the hype will build - of that I'm sure. There's not too many comparisons to be made here, but think the guitar sound of L7 & the great pop sounds of SPDFGH & you'll be somewhere close. There's little doubt as to the main highlight here for me, "Endless Charade" is class all the way, from the outstanding vocals & instrumentals, to the violin backing which really sets this apart. All other songs here are excellent too, from the rocking pop sounds of "Fade" & "Wasted", through to closer "Less Than Real", there's a lot to like here. Keep an ear out for this band - a great deal of promise already delivered. December 2000 hEARD Magazine www.ozemail.com.au/~hmag
