Here are some of the emerging quotes and comments on Vicious Pop the debut album from The Spectaculars UK "The Spectaculars are a tumble dryer full of aural colours, fledgling ideas, and great playing and must be a hell of a live act!" Get ready to rock "Rock, rap, funk, punk, psychedelia and even 80s pop find themselves stirred into the mix as these culture vultures pay homage to their past and on occasion cheekily nick riffs from a variety of sources while coming up with a sound that is entirely original and peerless." Peppermint Iguana "If Robert Rodriguez is looking for a soundtrack to his next cocky, shoot 'em up thriller he need look no further than The Spectaculars' debut album Vicious Pop.The Swansea outfit has shoehorned more sleaze, party spirit, primal wailing and commitment into 10 tracks than anyone could ask for." - Swansea Evening Post "Hyperbolic saskwatchian metal funk rap fusion with progressive leanings." Celtic Rock Music "An in yer face debut album with parental warning due to a very large smattering of F words from the Welsh six piece. Synths, backbeats, and loud guitars and thumping drums lay the foundations for some very energetic sounds. Promotional notes refer to Apocalypse Beach Party as "if Quentin Tarrantino was to produce a band it would probably sound like this" Nuff said. Smatterings of pop, funk, and hip-hop produce a complex and challenging result. If Rammstein, the Pistols and the B52's were in a jamming session together, (scary thought), this would be the outcome." Richard Lancashire The journal of the Classic Rock Society Dec07 / Jan08 "Vicious Pop is the long awaited debut album from these Welsh rockers. Describing their sound is a near-impossible task, considering that they've apparently borrowed from just about every genre of the past 30 years. This album is an intriguing blend that shows obvious influences from (most notably) Faith No More, among others. " Buzz Magazine |
