Beschreibung
Sicher nicht die erste Bands aus London, die sich die Etikette Artrock
auf ihre Fahnen näht, aber die erste seit langem die fast ohne Industrie
und Testosteron eine Menge Staub aufgewirbelt hat. Sarah Daly schafft
es mit ihrer Stimme den Sex von METRIC neben der Wut von YEAH YEAH YEAHS
zu vereinen. Eine der interessantesten englischen Bands derzeit !!!
Scanners zelebrieren einfach unverbrauchten Wave mit der
Vielschichtigkeit des Pop & dem Background von Indie & Punk.
Klasse !!! Die Basis für eine große Fanbase existiert bereits: über
300.000 Myspace Clicks, diverse Europa & US Touren, ein Release auf
Dimmak (Bloc Party, The Rakes, Klaxons), Unterstützung von ED BANGERS´
UFFIE.
(...) We need less boring,boring indie boys! Think we need an injection of snarling grrrl voices? Me too! That's why I'm bloody obsessed with snarling London rawk types Scanners whose singer Sarah is a shining bright star in its ascendancy. They're like all the songs Kim Gordon sings in Sonic Youth, but played by Motorhead at their early-'80s peak. And if that doesn't sound brilliant to you, perhaps it might be worth slicing off your ears and giving them to someone who deserves them, yeah? NME
(...) If 1996's Trainspotting soundtrack was the Britpop generation's Saturday Night Fever, London quartet Scanners seem to be holding out hope for a Staying Alive sequel. Violence Is Golden gots a 24-karat conclusion. Pitchfork
