For the past few years, electrifying new alternative rock bands come out that showcase truly fresh perspectives in music, which was not heard and presented before. Some music lovers believe that UKs music scene is still as thrilling as it have ever been.
It is quite excited to acquire a Dinosaur Pile-Ups music. If youve been hearing some buzzes about the band, try to find out what they have to offer for good. Although their music was not the type of groundbreaking sound you are hoping for, still their sounds are noteworthy enough to deserve a listen.
It is good to note that the band originated from Leed, which was headed by Matt Bigland. They are fond of the lo-fi songs that somewhat influenced their music. Bigland composes all lyrics of the bands songs and records it on an 8-track recorder. This DIY philosophy is pretty obvious in how rough some of the songs can get when played. But you should take note that the roughness adds to the over-all appeal of the songs.
The bands EP that was discreetly titled The Most Powerful EP in the Universe, contains five tracks. The appetizer Summer Hit Single made it very evident on why the band has been compared to Weezer. Its sweet melodies and power riffs bottled in a goofy package is a typical Weezer formula that the group has co-opted quite productively. The entire EP is what you would be expecting from lo-fi indie rock bands. In some angles Dinosaur Pile-up is a UK band that sounds like an American band. This maybe accounted to Bigland who frankly wears his influence to the band.
It is quite unsatisfactory for a five-song EP that is not a consistent endeavor. It could be noticed that the first two songs sound pretty diverse from the last three songs, which seems the strongest numbers. Of course, understanding an EP, maybe the songs were written at different times during the bands life. Some fans would be missing the kind of a flawless cohesion of EPs like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs debut, which is a sensation of ripeness and laser care. It could be reviewed that the strongest song in Dinosaur Pile-Ups offerings is the last piece, Beach Bug. May this group continually develop this kind of matured sound.
