| Barbed with energy and searing emotion,'Y.O.U'
screams out the stuff of which classics are
made. Although it's only a matter of weeks
since they fired out their first single 'Kick
Me Again Jesus', A House have been big news
in their native Dublin for quite some time.
Straight out of garageland, this bass, drums
and guitars quartet stitch piledriving rhythms
with near perfect pop and keep the whole
thing short, sharp and ferociously fast.
With a vocal that veers between desire and
contempt, 'Y.O.U' is the sound of jealously,
abuse and indefinite destruction. But it's
spared from any hint of acne angst by the
furious pace and gut-grabbing sneer of Dave
Couse's vocal. Less remarkable, but still
better than most, is 'Y.O.U' 's double A-sided
twin 'Snowball Down'. A simple song built
around ringing guitars and a raucous drumbeat.
Stunningly straightforward but gloriously
effective, A House should be an avalanche
of a live experience. |
