Martin Grech

YAY!

Jus got this back after thinking I'd not see it again (been out on long term "loan").

I've slated Muse before for being little MOre than a poor mans Radiohead. I admit I've not given them much of a try, and will do so in the future....... maybe

Martin Grech will draw similar Radiohead comparisons. Similar vocals, mixed with some experimental sounds and raw guitars.

I'll need to give it a couple of listens to write about it properly. But, it's one I'll add ot the Recommendations list soon.

Some really thrashy guitars that should suit the metal`ead out there too!

With this and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album, seems there's still some hope for guitar music after all

When just checking to see if their were any samples on the amazon.com site noticed someone says he's only 19!!!!!!

and his website (with audio and video) is here http://martingrech.co.uk/

 

i think this album "Open Heart Zoo" would appeal to Amnesiac era Radiohead fans. Given I like the Bends and OK Computer more I rate this album as no more than 3/5

 

The Radiohead comparisons and the obvious influence are without doubt. However, I'd rate him as MOre than just a radiohead spin off though.

With such obvious influence it's hard to ignore, but if you can take it as it is, then it's great stuff IMO.
