some of it was true!

New London band Backseat Heartbeats‘ brooding rock-punk sound is like heroin for the analytical diary-writer in me.  Greedily going through the MySpace menu,  I find Death Pleasures fast and murmurous, like a subway ride in an oxygen chamber, Love Stains inexplicably reminiscent of The Kills even though it sounds nothing like them, and 23 so mistily melancholic and journey-like that it makes me think of racing up a motorway, the sun setting and the destination irrelevant. 

Catch them at Proud Camden on Tuesday 27 July alongside the also-marvellous Creatures of Love.
