Elly Roberts reviews

Single releases: w/c November 7th 2005

For Your Dictator EP

The Morenas: Dance For Your Dictator EP (Bleach Records - distributed by Shellshock)

There are two buzzwords in the music industry right now - THE MORENAS.

Their scintillating 40 minute blast at Oswestry Music Live in July was one of the festival’s highlights. One hell of an impression.

Led by swarthy lead singer and guitarist Paulo Morena, bassist Tim Jackson and drummer Steve Wilson, they have all the makings of a massive band: The Darkness has serious competition.

If Justin thinks he’s some kind of superstar – wait till you see Paolo - a rock star in the making.

Musically, they’re full – on - in-your-face old-skool rockers with a 21st century twist. I Wanna Be Someone is a pulsating romp with a predictable energetic pace, full of riffs to blow your head off. It’s enough to leave you shell-shocked.

Track 2, My Violent Femme, should have been the lead song. Funky bass, solid sticks and rippling lead guitar, and yes more riffs. This would come across brilliantly on radio – one of my favourite rock songs of the year.

Leave Me Alone is a dirty guitar sizzler and wailing vocals with a groovy rhythm at yet another frenetic pace. A more temperate pace, but equally impressive sound follows on Filthy. Paolo leads all the songs with supreme edge and confidence.

I know when I’ve seen a great band - The Morenas are that.

Check them out on Saturday this Saturday (12 Nov) on Channel 4’s 4Music and Paolo playing the part of John Lennon in Channel 4’s controversial documentary on Princess Margaret on Saturday 26 November.

Circus Normal:
Circus Normal EP

Circus Normal: Circus Normal EP (Freeport Records)

At long last a band to be reckoned with.

There's plenty of evidence on this debut EP to consolidate my belief that Circus Normal have a bright future.

This exciting new Welsh band, who met at a Cardiff Bay studio which spawned Catatonia and Super Furry Animals, are out to make their mark - and how. Delivering a killer lead track with supreme confidence and swagger,

Only Time Will Tell is an old-skool 'wah wah' orientated Hendrix style rocker. Elsewhere the EP gives a broader insight into their capabilities which are formidable. Acoustic driven Ride shows their dynamic talents as it gloriously rises and falls. Both lead song and Scream confirm their credentials, qualified by legendary producer Tony Visconti as having, "Classic rock sensibilities."

Cover So much so, they've opened for Little Richard. At every level they prove to have all the necessary elements for a long career.

There's nothing quite like this on the air-waves, with its success dependent on radio playlists.

Possibly the next new sensation from Wales.
