Band: VILLANELLE
Who: Fresh Brit-rock trio led
by Liam Gallagher‘s son Gene.
Track: HINGE
Their debut single.
NME says: “It’s a blast of late Nirvana grunge
where lo-fi grit meets arena-destroying swagger.
They also had an interview with the band. Read it here
Gallagher: “It’s just all heavy guitars. That’s my favourite tone of any song: just really chuggy chords and really fucking distorted. All my favourite songs are like that – very punk rock. It’s just an aggressive song. I want it to sound like having a freakout. The lyrics are anxious as fuck.”
TUTV: I don’t know if Gene‘s dad is a grunge fan (as if Gene would care, he’s a damn Gallagher). Hinge echoes early Nirvana (debut album ‘Bleach‘). It has a raw and rough
indie edge. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s cool that Gene doesn’t copy/paste Oasis.
We’ll see/hear what their future will sound like.
