Confrontiers combine the synth sound so loved by 80s retro-ists The Killers and fuse it with an altogether more heavy dynamic. Imagine taking Brandon Flowers on a night out with Iggy circa 1969 (ok). But there’s more, throw in elements of Pavement, dashes of duelling melodies (imagine Sleater-Kinney but boys not riot Grrls - tho you should see their bassist in eyeline: questionable gender), a slice of politics and a droplet of down-beat stuf too.
Formed in London in early 2007 Confrontiers have wasted no time in bringing you the three tracks on the Limits to Limitations demo (here for you to download in full); the sky’s the limit so they say, but why limit your limitations say the band? And you know what? They’d be right. |
