I'll let you in on a little secret. In the past few months I've been adding some of the most interesting bands I've reviewed to my list of recommendations for the Incubate festival. Some with success by the way, I'm quite convinced them some of those recommendations will indeed appear on one of the stages in Tilburg in a few weeks. Unfortunately, the line-up is currently complete so I can no longer recommend bands. Otherwise I certainly would have put My Cruel Goro on that list.
My Cruel Goro members hail from Italy - Iceland. Their goal was to create highly energetic neo-punk and spew it out at a very high paste. So they did exactly that and now they're here to present us with their first e.p. If you're a fan of anything in between The Ramones and Arctic Monkeys, including Pixies, Joy Division, Dinosaur Jr and Weezer, this definitely is something for you. With three fast-paced alternative rock songs, this trio convinced me of their talent to rock.
Basically, the three songs drive on the same elements: up-tempo drums, immersive bass lines, great guitars and a clean voice, perfectly suited to enhance the power of the music. They all have this euphoric, joyous atmosphere which I like so much in the modern day indie scene. That's is exactly why I wanted to recommend these guys for Incubate (and I will do so next year). This stuff is perfect for some of the stages and will no doubt collect quite a large, ecstatic audience. I truly hope I get the chance to see them do this live soon...
