1999 - Midnight People - 7

Labels: Release the Bats
Review by: Alex Deller

I am deeply sorry, but this helium-voiced, goth-inflected post punk does nothing for me. The guitars sound like a fragile infant’s pitiful mewl and the frigid electronic drumbeats make me think of weary robots having unimaginative sex just for the sake of it. If you’re really on the lookout for a so-so art school band to soundtrack your next trip to the hairdresser then pick this up rather than rooting through a copy of the NME to find a band whose clothes you like, because at least this way you’ll at least be supporting a DIY venture.
