MY PASSION – Corporate Flesh Party
June 28th, 2009 | Published in Reviews
At first appearance My Passion look to be stationed firmly between the Goth and Emo camps, with their appearance seemingly top of the priorities list, but not long into Corporate Flesh Party it becomes clear that there’s more to these guys than meets the eye. Electro-pop and dance elements rear up time and again on this disc, products of front man Laurance Rene’s youth being taken to raves by his mum! So, it’s a bit of a mish-mash, but at the same time it’s a very focussed record, the band clearly know exactly who they’re targeting and craft their music accordingly. ‘Crazy & Me’, the first track here, sets the tone with a mix of metal riffs, Fall Out Boy vocals and a catchy beat that could well see this clamber up the charts. The rest of the album bounces around like a pinball, from ‘Day Of The Bees’ with it’s bombardment of synths to the grungy opening of ‘Thanks For Nothing’ (the song soon transforms into something quite different). There’s a wealth of ideas here, any of which might make a good direction for a more cohesive second album, but for a first release there’s lots to be excited about here.check out My Passion at: www.myspace.com/mypassion
