Wholeskymonitor: 'Cinenema'

Despite what the title may suggest, WholeSkyMonitor are a band on the cusp of something rather exciting with their current album ‘Bland Bland Bland’ and this latest single goes some way towards explaining why.

Title-wise (as with the album) it is initially slightly off-putting, sounding as it does like a disturbingly intrusive medical procedure. However, title implications aside, the track itself provides far less to worry about. The vocals are vaguely reminiscent of Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo and with a good dose of chunky riffs and thick, heavy drums the sound remains comparable - albeit slightly rougher around the edges. Even the B-side, ‘Sick Sick Sick’, is refreshingly decent for a bonus track, again re-iterating the band's fondness for repeating their point thrice.

Released on 26th May 2008 by Firebomb Radio Records.
