I am very open minded when it comes to music, giving
music from any genre a good listen before casting
my opinions on it, but I never thought I would end
up listing to something as random as the EP I have
just been sent by Broohaha, really the random band
name should of gave away the fact that I was about
to listen to something random, but for some reason
I never even thought about it, anyway the way the
band describe their music is ‘Alternative,
Grunge, Jazz, Heavy, Spiky, Polyrhythmic, Loud,
Empathetic, Haunting, Incessant, Driving, Disjunctive,
Striding, Aggressive, Energetic, Noise’ and
I have to agree with it and don’t think anyone
will ever be able to come up with a better description.
The EP features 6 tracks and they are all pretty
similar in the way that they sound like big dirty
jamming sessions where anything can and did happen,
there is always a lot going on at once and it
places it sounds really good such as in the opening
moments of ‘Incredible Weapons’ but
3 minutes later when the track is finishing it
seems to have over run for far too long.
The track which does bring a smile on my face
is ‘Thunderbone’ it sounds like the
kind of music Tim Burton would create if he decided
to be a musician rather than a film director,
the song features lots of random noise and the
inclusion of a Saxophone and Trombone bring a
bit of ska into the mix, the spoken word vocals
give the song a slight spooky feeling, and despite
the song being on for over 5minutes it manages
to please me in every way.
Overall Broohaha are a creative bunch of people
who create progressive music and songs such as
‘Huxatable’ and ‘Chug’
feature some amazing brass instrument work, whilst
‘Like Bad Penny’ drives on killer
guitar riffs and aggressive screams, the EP is
not the kind of thing you would want to listen
to on repeat or when you are driving, it is defiantly
something that grows on you the more you listen
to it but I feel if you listen to it too much
it will have you switching off all together.
3/5
