Description:
Having generated a loyal fan-base with their stream of well-received live shows, East London quartet The Infadels finally step to the plate with their much-anticipated debut album. Following on from singles like the revved-up "Jagger 67", the project has been overseen by Jagz "Primal Scream" Kooner and engineer Hugo "Bjork/My Bloody Valentine" Nicholson and is clearly intended to reflect the pop-perfect symmetry and swaggering stage style of the band.

Having generated a loyal fan-base with their stream of well-received live shows, East London quartet The Infadels finally step to the plate with their much-anticipated debut album. Following on from singles like the revved-up "Jagger 67", the project has been overseen by Jagz "Primal Scream" Kooner and engineer Hugo "Bjork/My Bloody Valentine" Nicholson and is clearly intended to reflect the pop-perfect symmetry and swaggering stage style of the band. Propelled by a plethora of punk-funk licks and dancefloor kicks, cuts like "Love Like Semtex" balance penetrating basslines with verbal attitude and poppy hooks; "Stories From The Bar" meanwhile indicates a wilful flirtation with more avant-garde ideas. Vocalist Bnaan (a former window cleaner) proves a great embellishment to the ear-catching soundtrack, his catchy choruses and Audio Bullys style pseudo-raps blending mellifluously with the energetic soundtrack. Though the band ardently insist they're not part of the current fetish for all things retro, the fumes of death disco and late 80s punk-funk hang thick in the air. --Paul Sullivan
