To Liken The Underground West To The Beatles Would Be An Understatement*. That Four Headed Bowl-Cut Band Changed The World Of Music In A Way That Every Pop-Rock Band Since Craved. TUW Springs Into The Music Scene Now Like A Matador Fights A Bull Strong Fast And Proud. No The Lead Vocalist Is No Paul McCartney And No The Drummer Is No Ringo Starr But There's Something Beautiful Going On In Th...E Culmination Of These People—these Musicians—and Their Dreams.
This Is A World Where Bands Especially Ones From Small Towns Don't Challenge The System. They're Too Afraid To Rock Out So They Do Away With Masculinity Sweat And Testosterone And Opt For Accordions And Lots And Lots Of Backstage—goodies—from Fans. Then TUW Appears On Stage And Blows Your Heads Off. It's Nice To Feel Anger Lust And Hate All In The Same Chord. Don't Be Fooled This Paragraph Does Not Sum Up TUW. They're A Complicated Band With An Identity Issue.
There Are Times When TUW Feels Like It Is Running Alongside With The Most Recent Indie Trends And Putting On Skinny Hipster Jeans When They Drop Lyrics Like “antediluvian Little Heart” That Send The Average Listener Running To A Thesaurus. Then The Lead Singer Breaks The Microphone Screaming His “little Heart” Out During “This Is Love” And Rectifies Any Chance Of One Believing That This Is Just Another Band That Spent Too Much Money On Shutter Shades. Then The Punk Scene Moves In But They Move In For Disappointment. There's A Punk Feel Here But It Lasts About As Long As The Indie Feel Does. TUW Like To Keep Their Audience Limited As They May Be Guessing. On The Mix I Listened To The Song That Precedes “This Is Love” Is A Sorrow-Filled Ballad-Esque Anti-Love Song. Maybe It's Disassociated Personality Disorder That TUW Suffers From Or Maybe It's Brilliance. Who's To Judge Really?
If You Come Away After Listening To “Hush” And Try To Tell A Friend About What The Underground West Sounds Like It Would Be No Surprise If You Were At A Loss For Words And Said Things Like “Well They're Like Pseudo-Alt-Rock And A Little Bit Of Punk-Pop-Indie-Grunge-Core Y'know?” The Title Of The Album Says So Much About The Themes Of Each Song And Is Beautifully Structured But In The Identity Issue Maybe We See The Biggest Exercise In Meaning. Hush. Shut The F*&$ Up About Genres. Do You Know That This Band Plays? Music. Pure And Simple. They Play Music And We Listen To It. Hush. The Band Is On. *for The Beatles By CT Mills read less
