| Band: Flowers In Flames Location: Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Album: Flowers In Flames (LP) Genre: Post-Punk / Gothic / Psychedelic Track Picks: "Third Wave," "All the Glitter," "Cursed With A Flame," "Stare At The Stars" Lowdown: Something that isn't commonplace. Experimentally distorted guitar lines, hollow backing vocal chants and groovy The Smiths' attitude bring this four member band's debut album to the forefront. They take vintage and time warp it into their own personal modernized touch. It's sometimes The Adam's Family/Elvira gothic raunch and sometimes Hedwing and the Angry Inch punk rock musical glam. Or, what's been termed by Deadsy's frontman as "undercore;" a delightfully fresh version of the past works of Gary Numan, Lou Reed and Peter Murphy. The shared vocals and lyrics of Cindy Dimitroff and Dave Chavez make the band stand out. Chavez conjours up David Bowie's familiar gloommy British accent, while Dimitroff reinvents Siouxsie Sioux's harrowing doom tones. A band prepared to take listeners on a newfangled ride. http://www.myspace.com/flowersinflames iTunes Purchase |
