Miss Black America
And its not just me that thinks so. Like the Manics before them, Nirvana and the Smiths before them, and every other band that has connected with the disaffected youth of their generation, youre either with them or against them. The faces of the converted throng hang on front man Seymours every word - theyd die for him there and then if the chance arose. What hes offering is a large dose of self-confidence and support; Were all born with something that makes us special, but we learn to forsake our abilities in the name of compromise, conformity and consumerism we say, theres more to it than that, youre worth more so NEVER give in. Having conquered Cambridgeshire, theyve set about spreading the word to the nation via their first single, released through local label REPEAT. Containing three regular crowd pleasers, the Adrenaline Junkie Class-A Mentalist EP has turned heads, including that of a certain Mr John Peel. Turned it to such a degree, in fact, that he invited them down to do a session for Radio 1. We were working with the same producer who did Nirvanas Peel session, and it just sounded amazing really raw, really angry and particularly Miss Black America. So there you have it Bury is the new Seattle and its all happening in your back yard. I respect anyone whos willing to stand up and make a noise about what they believe in, particularly if its effective without being violent. Explains Seymour. Martin Luther King, Ghandi, The Zapatistas If you dont want to know what all the fuss is about, in the eyes of the converted youre already dead. To the rest, viva la resistance!
