ANYONE / ANYONE

Anyone are one of those rarest of things a sounding band. Taking their inspiration from anything and everything, their music is at once eclectic enigmatic and captivating, you literally do not no what you are going to hear next. This CD is full of light and shade and so dynamic it's like the difference between black and white and Technicolor.

Their sound is almost impossible to describe a there is no band around that sounds remotely like them and so comparisons are at once meaningless and of no use at all. The vocalist Riz Story sounds a bit like Perry Farrell and the lead singer with Suede whose name escapes me at the moment but other than that they sound like everyone and no one at all and this may be their strength or weakness. They are obviously songwriters first and this means that they go where their collective whim takes them one minute Pink Floyd the next and Cheap Trick or Jane's Addiction the next the only way to describe this is Acid Rock for the new Millennium. Tracks such as "Giving Thrills"and "Real" rock out with the best of them while "Lazy Hazy" has a brilliant pop sensibility that begs to be played along with "fly". Filled with jerky rhythms and strange melodies if you are looking for something different that will still intrigue you in 5 years time this is the CD for you.

Stand out tracks, "Giving Thrills", "Real", "Lazy Hazy" and "Love, Peace and Toxic".
