Towers Of London - Live On Music: Response
Many new bands are calm, considered characters, keen not to stick their necks out too far or talk themselves up to unsustainable levels. Towers of London are not one of those bands.
Determined to dispel the modern myth that rock stops at Keane and Coldplay, Towers of London combine early-Manics rhetoric with Sex Pistolian levels of viciousnes and the kind of haircuts you'd get if Donatella Versace got ripped to the tits on cocaine and forcibly styled tramps.
Hitting Music: Response ahead of the unplayable 'Fuck It Up' single, the Towers revealed all about being banned from Cambridge, touring LA with the legendary Rick Rubin and the forthcoming album (which will probably be called 'Fuck You C**t' or similar) [listen] .
Towers of London 'Beaujolais'
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
Spearheaded by the inevitable Johnny Rotten vocal, this is Pulp's 'Common People' reimagined as a spitting, furious punk anthem. Leaves you with the impression the Towers are probably Sauvignon men.
Towers of London 'How Rude She Was'
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
Opens with a Lupine Howl and some well-placed sloganeering before heading into a cockney tribute to some filthy slag or other. Probably the first ever song to namecheck Camden's spanky new KoKo venue.
Towers of London 'Seen It All'
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
Exclusive Online Track!
Galopping guitar riffs and drum beats a la 'I Fought The Law' explode into a furious diatribe against smug London scenesters who prop up the bar and fold their arms. The fuckers.
