Death In Public - I Really Hate Coldplay
The attention grabbing title can be questioned, not really being necessary for a band who have such clear talent and quality.
Atmospheric guitars wash across the sound creating (whisper it) sonic cathedrals on the second single from Lancaster's Death In Public. The attention grabbing title can be questioned, not really being necessary for a band who have such clear talent and quality. Sounding like an angrier Muse, strings are thrashed with the passion of a band clearly trying to create something interesting. Whilst they may not be that different from bands such as Mogwai and Bloc Party, there is a passion in the vocals Kele Okereke could only manage in his dream of dreams.
B side 'Losing All The Time' continues along the same path, full of whirling guitars riffs and thumping pounding drums. It suffers from a lack of difference from the A side, with a very similar feel to both. For Death In Public to move to the big time more ideas are needed.
