The Bedroom Project - The World Is Not WatchingThe Bedroom Project - The World Is Not Watching

The bands name sounds like they have been busy making some kind of gonzo porn film or something else in their bedroom, maybe they have who knows, anyway the band are a 5 piece from Plymouth and they have been together for 3 years now and by the looks of it the band aren’t shy when it comes to music as each and every member of the band have been in previous bands such as No Comply, Orca, Dr Gruff and many many more, the only one of the bands that I have come across before is No Comply and I was hugely impressed with their sound and was quite sad when they split up.

I really love The Bedroom Project and the way that they have mixed a variety of different musical styles together to come up with their sound and their sound is big loud and quite rocking, seriously go out and buy a copy of their second album 'The World Is No Watching' put the cd in your cd player and press play and try tell me that the first 20 seconds of the cd doesn’t do anything for you.

The first song 'Lighting A Match' is great, it’s massive sounding, the guitar riffs and drumming that open the song are so thunderous, the noise that this band make is so pleasing to my ears and I seriously can’t get enough of the first track from the album, whilst sounding big and loud the band also manage to hold a lot of melody within the song, the guitar riffs within this song are totally guitar hero friendly, if I didn’t know better I would of thought that they were written for the game, they are huge and so pleasing and could just imagine rocking out in my room strumming along to this on guitar hero, if only the game let you upload your own cds.

'Lighting A Match' finishes and 'The Story Of Lex Mcklane' starts up with out you even noticing the change of tracks, I still thought I was listening to the first track but my cd player was telling me that track 2 was on, the change over from songs was so quick that I totally didn’t notice, 'The Story Of Lex Mcklane' is just as accessible as the opening track but just a little bit lighter in sound.

If The Bedroom Projects mission as a band is to make as much noise as possible and make it as enjoyable as possible then I think they have succeeded, as everything about their sound is strong and loud sounding and so enjoyable. For example listen to 'There Is No Shelter' there is so much going on in the song, the guitar riffs in places sound like John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers has headed around to The Bedroom Project to knock out a few riffs. 'Everything You Need' is quite a chilled out song, what I mean by chilled out is that it’s more chilled out than the most of the album, the drumming is still big and constant, the bass lines are bouncier than a small elastic band ball, the guitar riffs shed a lot of noise and frontman T.J Ward's raw rap style rock vocals sit just perfectly with everything that’s going on.

The Bedroom Project are a fun energetic band, they have captured so much noise and energy on their second album 'The World Is Not Watching', the album is so powerful but I feel that I am still missing out on something, I feel that The Bedroom Project would be best captured live as if they can create this much energy on cd, it excites me to think just how enjoyable and energetic these guys are when they play live, this is something that I will have to find out for myself soon.

4/5
