59 Violets - Prime Numbers continued By Daniel Laney

prev page

An air guitarist's best friend (apart from their guitar) invites you into She's a Ride. This riff shows that 59 Violets return true to their form of predecessors from this CD and gives us another fast and short rock explosion. She's a Ride is yet another one for your driving experience. Riverbed is a more 60's style track and has elements of The Beatles drug induced art sound. A heavier fuller sound than the 60's bands had to offer this song is a great example of modern rock music and proves that there is still credibility in the world of music.

With lyrics such as another sunny day to stay inside the house shows a darker and seedy side to 59 Violets, but up until now on the record no track can have fault tagged on it and with a diverse and intelligible approach River Bed is just another dig to keep you interested.

Finally a remix of the opening track Yeah Yeah Yeah closes the album. Many may argue that by doing a remix of a song to put on your groups album is a synonym for not being bothered to write another track. But this remix is absolutely perfect for a chill out on a Sunday afternoon. It sparks an image of being sat on a roof top garden looking down over the cities summer streets. This song just shows us the musical diversity 59 Violets are willing to try and each time thumbs up for every attempt.

If you really like music in general then there should be no excuse as to why you don't own this hallmark on Hull's and the East Ridings music scene. Brilliant!
