The Young Knives- Sick Octave
I've
not pledged anything to a kickstarter project before, but some bands-
you owe something. I've been to hundreds of gigs over the past 8 years
seeing 95% of anyone I could have wished to, I've gained some sort of
vague respect from and hung out with a lot of great bands and it all
began that night with these guys (fresh from winning the road to v)
and the rumble strips, who were on the same bill and to whom I wish I
could have some sort of impact on their revival but it's all gone a bit
quiet on that front. Young Knives however, we all can.
Kickstarter
is a way of funding projects via pledges and getting something more
back than you usually would when you support an artist. In addition to
the music, you can get anything from a selection of rewards dependent on
the amount you pledge, involvement in each step of the project and the
knowledge you have actually made a difference to the band rather than
paying a HMV staff member's hourly wage, you know- while that's still
possible.
Voices of Animals and Men soundtracked the peak and decline of Summer 2006 (This. Is. The. End. Of. The. Summer)
musically, lyrically, englishnessily the album was so good that
potentially inaccessible tracks like tailors and half-timer which, if
placed in another band's back catalogue may be lost to the annals of
time, are requested fervently at their shows.
I
guess there isn't too much point reviewing an album that came out 7
years ago but there is no new album to review as yet and that's because
there won't be unless they reach their target before the 22nd May. Help a
drummer and a couple of brothers out.
While
a sickening amount of bands from the mid-zeroes have let life get in
the way of their music, YK have taken the normal stuff in their stride
and continued their relentless march through touring and music making.
Over the past half a decade, they've lost a 'the', released two albums
and added sheen to their sound which now they want to remove. Your
reward is your choice, along with their upcoming album and EP (Oh
Happiness) you can be in a music video, be on their guest list for 10
years and pretty much anything else in between. What's more you could
get your e-hands on their formerly presumed mythological demo
album, "Nolens Volens". Insane.
