Song of The Week #8 "I Don't Love You" by Honeywheeler

If you’ve heard the tune already, 95% of you will all agree, The lyrics are more than true. A perfect chorus to scream out load while having a drink with your mates. I can say with confidence, I know exactly what the singer speaks off lyrically.

Honeywheeler is a fantastic Perth grunge rock band fronted by Angel Vox. A fresh, interesting group bringing back some the better parts of 1990’s music. With their EP release not far away, they’ve been gigging around town at such places as The Paddo.

“I don’t love you” is one of their first releases and has a reminiscent “I’m just a girl” feel to it. Incredibly catchy lyrics that had me hooked from the first verse coupled with a persistent fast paced guitar melody. All I wanted to do after hearing this track was head home with some hubbabubba, sugared coke bottles, 3 bottles of Passion Pop and a copy of Ten things I hate about you.

Although the tempo instrumentally has a frantic, crazy “F the world” beat to it. Miss Vox adds a fantastic element with her unrestrained, even tempered and carefree tone.
My only recommendation for improvement? In some areas, the vocals are drowned out by the slick guitar rifts and accomplished drum line. Perfected lyrics such as these need to be on the forefront of the tune.
I don’t love you is a great little tune, perfected by the kind of group that you could easily see yourself heading down to The Bakery, Oh Snap! or perhaps The Republic on occasion to see.
Guys may not be a plenty within the crowd, but you’ll find lots of chicks with attitude
You can just imagine how great this groups set would be live.

Happy Listening,

Song of The Week #1 - Smoke by Seer Cya

Smoke by Seer Cya

Seer Cya, a 4 piece “balls out rock” band, have just released their debut album ‘Prohibition’. I was put to the task of reviewing track number 6, ‘Smoke’.

‘Smoke’ begins simply in a manner that outlines the chorus riff of the song that flows seamlessly into the verse, which comparatively is less instrumentally complex. Within the first 30 seconds a good use of dynamics and instrumentation is already seen. The verse and the chorus can be easily recognised due to the catchy riff in the chorus and the guitar fills. The bridge opens the way for a perfect transition to double time which makes the song for me. An outstanding finish to a song that just gets you fired up.

Overall, ‘Smoke’ is an awesome song and my words don’t do it justice, “Balls out rock” is pretty much the best way to describe it. Catchy hooks, rhythm that seduces headbanging, and in general great instrumentation. I’m impressed that only after a mere 18 months has Seer Cya released an album, but a great album.

‘Prohibition’ launches on the 7th of January at the Rosemount Hotel, go check it out.
