We Are The Union

Postby gilesb » Thu Jun 12, 2008 2:00 pm

We Are The Union - www.myspace.com/wearetheunion

Imagine Rehasher with horns, and upstrokes at regular intervals as well as a few beatdowns.

album is up for free on all their sites - myspace/purevolume etc.

gets boring pretty quick, no real standout songs tbh. Fun and summery though.

less than jake meets SYG is what came to mind when i first heard them.

Sounds like it could be a good listen. Rehasher are very good but with all of their songs (ignoring suffragette city because that is bollocks, i know its a cover but if you cover a shit song, chances are its going to remain shit) it seems like theres something missing. All of the songs are really good but not of them sound truly amazing.

Would you say We Are The Union have that special something? Can't listen because i'm at work but will definitely listen when i get back home.

UK tour next year?
I think so!

I like the mix. Really Less Than Jake sounding hornlines, but with some proper fun punx thrown in.

It'll be Grown At Home, J.B. or another Hidden Talent band, as Ian Armstrong's booking it.
