As my shirt
boldly proclaims, Denmark's the spot! The coastal country in
Northern Europe has always been a source for a few good
surprises, and this Copenhagen-based band can attest to
that. Despite the imagery of a large, amazingly bullity
band, Snake And Jet's Amazing Bullit Band is only two people
- Snake and Jet, or in actuality, Thomas and Thor. Together,
the duo mix about wurlitzer keys, harmonicas, drums, vintage
synths and the screechings of an electric guitar to create a
sound akin to the proud rock of the dirty days. Being
gentlemen of today, however, affords this duo a mix of the
classic and modern. Coupled with the energetic rhythms, in
place of your usual lyrics, are sing-along friendly power
cheers and slogans looped about for ease of memorization.
Quite frankly, these kids are well-capable of rock and have
me jamming out on imaginary Guitar Hero utilizing everything
from my imaginary whammy bar to my imaginary star power.
Their debut album, X-Ray Spirit, was just loads and
loads and loads of fun, and their follow-up Peace Boat
is anything but peaceful and full of the raucous rock from
their first album.
