Somewhere in east London, 1,000 hipsters are sweatily touching themselves at the thought of Spank Rock teaming up with the world’s most skewed ice-cream vendors. But despite his ever-reliable flow (and he even reins in the filth!) the directionless electronica slips so quickly into monotony you have to wonder if this was created solely so the opening few bars could be used as a ringtone and the rest discarded like so much future trash.

| More indie electro with a neat synth hook and added fuzzy, shouty, riot grrrl vocals courtesy of front women Lo. They are the new Crystal Castles apparently, well I haven`t heard the old Crystal Castles yet (yeah I know, where have I been) so I can`t comment on that but I do know that Hearts Revolution travel around in pink ice cream vans selling allsorts of DIY bit`s n` pieces, which officialy makes them the coolest band on the planet....full text |

| The background: If you like Crystal Castles but find their 8-bit punk-disco hard to swallow, then try Hearts Revolution, yet another duo – two really is the new black - who are offering a sort of accessible (these things being relative) version of that extreme electro-terrorist digital hardcore sound. In a parallel universe, their songs, a series of yelps over DIY shards of rhythm with chanted choruses and slim, size-zero melodies, would all be smash hits. Hearts Revolution, who have been touring as support to the New Band of the Day-sanctioned Midnight Juggernauts, call themselves thrash-metal electronicists and boy/grrrl revolutionaries, with echoes in the latter phrase of the likes of Huggy Bear from the early-90s riot grrrl era. In fact, they're like Huggy Bear plugged into the National Grid. They've even remixed the Bear's best-known song, Her Jazz, with its immortal kiss-off to the straight world, "This is happening without your permission". They've got songs that teeter on that fine line between brutal and beautiful, songs about laser beams and wolves and libertines, with titles like Ultraviolence and Switchblade, which sound like they've been lifted from one of Bobby Gillespie's doodle-pads. They've even got a genuinely pretty ballad called Digital Suicide with shades of Suicide's Dream Baby Dream that references something called "sonic dreams" and contains a deeply old-fashioned demand to "stop the world, I want to get off"....full text |
