Shamelessly Dancy, Retro, and Beat Driven.

When I first heard I Hate Kate on my local radio station I thought they were a well known, famous band that I'd been oblivious to previously, they just sounded that good! So I was surprised to find out that they were a mostly local band with only some notoriety to their name.

I've loved their music since I first heard 'em on my radio and I'm so happy to finally have a full album to listen to. I Hate Kate's music is hard for me to describe, it's like they took all my favourite things from '80's rock and modern rock, threw them together and than sat the whole thing on it's head. It's dancy and retro and beat driven and guitar heavy and I love it shamelessly.

I'm really impressed with the cover of 'Major Tom' on Embrace the Curse. 'Cause I remember the original version of 'Major Tom' and it was nowhere near as good. Some of my other favourites are 'Outta My Head', 'Then You Kiss' and 'Inside Inside'.
