Trim The Barber
London sextet Trim The Barber added me on MySpace. There’s only one song to listen to there (although a previous EP is on last.fm), but never fear: Now The Joke’s On You is a captivating, energised injection of post-punk rock with a grim political overtone. Guitars screech and the slalom through solos, drums thrash in all the right places and Matt Potter sings cute hooks like a baleful Sid Vicious after one too many ciders in the sun. There’s even some vioin in the final instrumental section, and violins are always nice.
Apparently, forthcoming EP ‘Dead End Wall’ offers “a brand of post/psych/pop/gaze with powerful yet melodic harmonized vocals., wailing, reverb soaked guitars, big fuzzy breaks and off-kilter drumming”. Bring it on!
