Trashtown Thrillers - A Red Rose And A Shotgun Kiss

So Brighton then... apparently it's Trashtown Thrillers town. The Brighton natives are kicking back on their 'A Red Rose And A Shotgun Kiss' with a seriously blues infused rock n roll sound that is hard to pin down without drawing some weird comparison between Brian Setzer and The Dogs D'Amour... and yes it does sound that confused, and yes that intriguing to boot.

So why? Vocally these boys really sound like the old school 60's rock n roll sound that Setzer has made his own over recent years, while drawing a more upbeat sense of sleazy goodness that Tyla and the Dogs were, and still are for that matter, famous for.

And how does it shape up I hear you asking? Well interesting is certainly a good word for it, and it certainly shows signs that these boys may well have a future. The production does leave something to be desired, but as I'm not entirely sure whether this is officially an EP or more a demo, we can let that slide a little. The fusion between blues and punk is certainly an interesting one, and it's certainly not a failure here.

Let's see how these Brighton boys develop over the next year or so, and see what they bring to the table then, but for now we've got a good glimpse of where they're heading to, and it sounds pretty decent, and with time and a bit more money spent on the production, we'll no doubt be talking some more...
