Tenderhooks are a band that have been around for
a while now, they already have two albums behind
them and their third album will be released shortly,
a release date hasn’t actually been confirmed
yet, but in the meantime these guys are releasing
a new single titled 'Ma Ma Mr. Nice'.
'Ma Ma Mr. Nice' is a really upbeat slice of
indie rock with a bit of experimentation from
the electronic side of things which they have
managed to blend into their sound pretty nicely.
In a way Tenderhooks remind me of my favourite
American soft rock band The Presidents of the
United States of America, Tenderhooks are just
a slight bit softer and a lot more poppy. 'Ma
Ma Mr. Nice' features beautiful melodies and great
in your face choruses.
The single for 'Ma Ma Mr. Nice' has two b-sides
the first one 'Tiny Bombs' is quite a mellow song,
much toned down from the main single, however
the song flows really fast and really well, it’s
not the kind of song that’s going to make
you mosh like a mad monkey but it will get you
swaying from side to side.
The second b-side to the single 'You're The One
Meant For Me' is pretty random, it has a few different
soundscapes on offer and is an old style sounding
easy listening rock song, kind of like the stuff
you could imagine an old skool pub band playing
whilst wearing their cowboy hats trying to entertain
the lonely old men on a Sunday night as they enjoy
a pint or two on their own.
All the songs featured on the Tenderhooks single
are all going to appear on the bands third album
once it is released. Tenderhooks don’t have
the sound and style that is going to appeal to
the mainstream crowd but they do something totally
different for the indie scene especially in the
way that no two songs by these guys are anywhere
a like, they like to be different and they like
to create a wide variety of sounds within their
music.
Tenderhooks are a talented band and a band that
are well worth a listen, but just don’t
expect the new Coldplay or whatever indie band
is top of the scene when you read this.
4/5
