Conceptually, tonight, this is fantastic. Easyworld have one song. Bleach, the second single to be released from the album. All their songs sound like slight variations of the one song. The one song has many titles, “You and Me” and “Try Not To Think”. The song carries the chilly corporate mark of being researched and test-marketed. The song sounds like a poppier Muse A-side auditioning to be on the next Dawson’s Creek compilation. Easyworld play the one song, which is guitar quiet, guitar loud guitar quiet and shout the chorus, throughout the night disguised as a set list. The grind of watching is boredom taken to a higher warholian level, it is post modern and fascinating.
And Easyworld are loved. Tonight there is near hormonal pandemonium as teenage girls arms flailing with emotion, try to touch Glenn throughout the night, scream lyrics back at the band. A chap gets up on stage to hug, Glenn Hooper, crying “I love you, Glenn”. This is the Patridge Family and singer is the new David Cassidy. In the future, this will be reverred as fantastic kitsch. Easyworld have nothing to say

total garbage.
at one point - the singer started to play a mandolin - as a roadie waited behind him to retrieve said mandolin and splashing him with evian water - he gives the mandolin back to the roadie - and KERRANG - it's back to the same song.

i was struggling to find something positive about the band and I thought it maybe was some satori (music/art taken out of it's relevant enviroment and put into another) as in - maybe the repeativeness/david cassidy comparisons WERE planned.....you know?

see, DO YOU SEE? I try to make it entertaining.....as if I was reading the review and what would I think, you know?
and the NME career - i dunno about it being a career - i see it more as an apprenticeship to better things (as it is happening at the moment - i may be writing for yet another magazine..moihahahaha!)
