Aberdeen City

October 29, 2005

Here’s something from a new band out of Boston called Aberdeen City.
They’re releasing their first full length ìThe Freezing Atlanticî on
October 25 and it’s produced by Nic Hard (The Bravery, The Church,
Jesse Malin).

The pulsing guitars at the beginning
of the song takes me right to a live show, even though in reality I am
sitting here in front of my computer.  The mournful, melodic voice
of the lead singer is remniscent of the voice of Brandon Flowers of
newbie breakout band The Killers.  The lyrics are haunting yet
strangely amusing at the same time.  The beat is one that will
make one either want to get up and dance or just plain mosh along to
it.  The song is flexible- it does no wrong.  The beat is
great and truly one that will be stuck in my head for a while, and I’m
sure in no time it will be stuck in a lot more heads.
