Shard - Wished and then Kissed EP

Local hero's testament to hard work and dedication.

Shard have been slugging and glamming it out on the local circuit for a while and have become fast movers with a professional and unique sound. Check out their first big independent release.

Opening song 'The modern way to madness' showcases what Shard are all about, Pop sleaze glam and awkward schizophrenic moments unfolding all at once in equal measures. Stop and start guitar work punctuated by drum bursts. A somewhat stripped down track for Shard but still one that shows thought and depth.

The second track opens with robotic synths and drums and a slow picked phased guitar providing the ambience and it's this subtle ambience that promises Shard never get boring. The dual vocals are well worked out and are a stunning touch that gently plucks its way into your ears cooing softly massaging the inside of your ears becoming liquid. A short sweet song that shows the innocent side of Shard.

The third track 'Daytime in Leatherlime' sounds absolutely amazing at the start with a really fat hard vibe behind it which sounds absolutely dazzling The juxtaposition of sweet and fat sounds fighting in the mix of this song really make it stand out. It's quite a trip and has an energy present in form throughout. The best track on the CD.
The other three songs mix more sleaze and plucked strings and disjointed clean sounds to dirty vocals. Mixing songs and sections to the point that they become timeless and fabulously disjointed. Synths and guitars battle it out but still allow each song to be different each song has a moment you can dance to and lose yourself in and has passion and flirts with you.

Defiantly not for everyone but a lesson to everyone in a band to do something original and create music that they can really call their own.
