Single Reviews - The Ga-Ga's - Sex (Sanctuary) By Steve Rudd

If you're fed up with second-rate rock bands that don't know a decent riff if it's injected into their veins at birth, make a beeline for the exhilarating music of The Ga-Gas: quick-sharp. Quite simply, it rocks like a geologist body-surfing down a scree escarpment. Sex is the band's first commercial single, though they have previously released a double-A side which almost immediately sold-out of its 1000 copies. No wonder either, because these guys live and breathe rock 'n' roll of the highest order. Sex opens their debut album, Tonight The Midway Shines, with both eyes and legs wide open.

Such an album might be stacked with sleaze-fuelled anthems that sound destined to land in super-sized stadiums the world over, but they are in no way camp like The Darkness.

These boys deliver thrilling tunes that give the likes of The Wild Hearts a run for everybody's money, as a wholesome and meaty rock 'n' roll guitar riff dominates Sex like whips and chains systematically run amok amongst whorehouse. Feel-good exuberance is the order of the day. Hey, you know what they say... sex sells. And this sounds orgasmic.

www.thegagas.com This single was released on January 31st 2005. Go get! The Ga-Gas will be performing live at Hull Uni. union Asylum on Friday 4th March, 7pm till 11pm. Tickets £5.
