Jye put the call out a little while ago for people to send in music for reviewing, and Julian Rapp from Friendship Records was one of those who answered the call.
He’s sent me some music by a rock band on the Friendship Records label called Nobody Can Dance. Nine tracks, with titles like Dance, Fucker, Dance!, Creepy Little People and Post-Apocalyptic Pussy.
Here’s my favourite track from the nine tracks I received, If You Got a Problem:
Nice start, the guitars complement each other well – which isn’t always the case in some of the other tracks, though of course it’s going to be tricky having two leads especially when they’re both running effects.
The band comprises of a drummer, bassist and two lead guitars which leaves the mix fairly open although both guitars use overdrive and one is usually fairly heavily distorted giving the band a grungy garage feel.
The vocals reminded me of Beck for some reason.
Nice variety of tempos and feels, although the start of You Put Me On worried me a bit with its country sound but its all good after the first minute.
I rate Nobody Can Dance 3 out of 5 stars.
Another track Animal Love:
The tracks “If You Got a Problem” and “Animal Love” have been offered for streaming on The Music Blogs under permission from Friendship Records.

I like those two tracks. Nice slightly-dirty rock sound. I wouldn’t buy their album, but I’d download it and listen to it in the car.
