Japanese Voyeurs - Sicking And CreamingJapanese Voyeurs – Sicking And Creaming

The Japanese Voyeurs are a new 5-piece band from London and from looking at their MySpace page they don’t seem to like to reveal what they look like and instead fill their photos page with various different crazy photos involving sweets, and yes you can create crazy photos involving sweets, just check these guys MySpace page out, but also be very careful if you Google them as you might get a shock with some of the results that may pop up.

So the band are unleashing their new EP ‘Sicking And Creaming’ on the 5th October on Slimeball Records, the EP technically isn’t new as it just features a bunch of old demos that the band recorded a long time ago but have decided to get them released after a very random story that backs up their reasons to release the EP.

The EP starts off with ‘Dumb’ the song starts off with some decent guitar riffs and then seconds later Romily Alice’s vocals come in, now her vocals are a lot different from your average vocals and they have a bit of a Marmite feel about them where you either love or hate them, I can honestly see her vocals pissing a lot of people off but as for me I quite like them and I also like the fast paced random style they have developed with their music.

‘X-Ray Ted’ isn’t as good as the opening track but Romily Alice is still as passionate with her vocals with her high pitched squealing, the guitars and bass are full of rhythm and the drumming is constant yet pretty average sounding.

‘You’re So Cool’ see’s a slightly different style in Alice’s vocals, they are more like the vocal style of Brody Dalle who used to be the frontwomen for The Distillers and they come across more soft and beautiful sounding, especially as she sings “You’re so cool, you’re so cool’ over and over again during the chorus.

Overall The Japanese Voyeurs are a random sounding Grunge rock band who like to be different from the rest, they like to do and say things to shock people, on record they sound good, it’s like The Zico Chain mixed with Nirvana with Brody Dalle or Gwen Stafani on vocals it not something you can quite imagine but once you have heard it you will appreciate it.

3/5
