In the
lead up to the third Eureka Machines album being released through a
pledge campaign those who promised their cash to the band were
provided with an albums worth of mainly acoustic material to wet
their appetite.
Some
would be quick to think that this would be a bit of a gimmick whereas
the band just cobble together some stuff that they had lying around
to entertain those who were waiting for the all new material, but
once heard if anyone still considered that then they should very
quickly get a check up from the neck up.
This is
really an solid album that most musicians would happily exchange
their soul down the crossroads to be able to create.
Power pop
punk that rocks out just as much as the electric studio versions do,
plus a fistful of stuff that people probably haven't heard before.
I firmly
believe that if the uninitiated got on board with the band and lent
them an ear for say ten minutes then within a year they would be
playing stadiums.
For me it
is difficult to wrap my head around the idea that others might not
consider that the band are up there as one of the best that the UK
have.
Proof is
written all over these tracks.
What
others would describe as an odds and sods release effortlessly pisses
all over much of the competition that is doing the rounds.
Maybe a
harsh statement, but none the less true.
Take a
bit of the Beach Boys and the Beatles and drag them both screaming
and kicking into the present and add their immense melodic skills to
a kick ass rock and roll band and what you get is the Eureka
Machines.
They are
like a Frankenstein monster stitched together from the best of the
best examples of cool song writing from the last fifty years.
