The Music - 'The People' (Hut)
5/5
By: Toby L
Praise can be a troublesome thing. Those bands unfortunate enough to be provided with the 'next big thing' label are wont to being crushed by the expectation placed upon them.
Somehow, you don't get the impression this will happen to The Music. Quite simply, they have the potential to become the greatest British band since The Stone Roses. Thirteen years on from the heydays of Madchester, The Music have selected the finest elements from The Roses' world-domination blueprint, and created a version for 2002.
Vocalist Rob Harvey and guitarist Adam Nutter (of whom the description 'precocious' is a serious insult) are reminiscent of Ian Brown and John Squire at their most self-assured and hungry. 'The People' EP itself meanwhile is a mesmerising, 17-minute surge of electrifying, colossal psychedelia, providing more swagger, energy and belief than most bands could dream of producing.
The people: change the way you live now. The revolution has begun.
