Pudding Attack
"Lightning Bolt Glamour" CD
Acidsoxx Musicks
Genre: dance rock, dance punk
May 2006 |
I'm going to admit I'm not big on music like this, but Acidsoxx tend
to do things right so I'm willing to lend them a solid ear. This is
dancey rock music with only bass, electronics, and mostly-spoken
vocals to its credit - it's heavy on beats and vocal goofiness, but
not exactly packed with melody. I've noticed a decent enough of this
sort of stuff coming out recently but I'm starting to think the
scene's becoming a tad oversaturated. Fortunately Pudding Attack have
a good sense of what's right and what's wrong; personally, I'm a big
fan of the keyboard melodies going on ("Cali's Beach" and "Kinky Kat"
are strong spots), though a live set would be easy to groove to due to
the strong rhythmic element. Naturally this is the type of music that
thrives when it's played loud, given enough sonic space to host the
destructive beats, foot-moving bass, and Chris Anderson's
eclectic vocals. When all is said and done this is exactly what I
expected from a band named Pudding Attack.
