We Were The States

Tastes like great

coverart-wewerethestates.jpgWhen in season, a garlic bud can sometimes contain a sprout. It may seem inoffensive at a glance, but if you’re adding the bulbous flavour-generator to a recipe and you come across a sprout, it’s best to remove it, as the sprout is difficult to digest. Not to mention that its taste is quite bitter, so it takes away from that authentic garlic taste. So what’s the point of keeping it when all you want is that hearty garlic aroma without the aftermeal fuss?

Kind of like rock music, wouldn’t you say? If most bands took out the siren song of self-indulgence, which germinates when they start making their own music, the end result would most likely be more extraordinary songs from bands like We Were The States. The raucous Up Your Sleeve has all the twists and stitches of an excellent cheeky bang-on romp, complete with rowdy 60s harmonizing, swaggering smarmy vocals, and a glammy guitar solo which will have you to rocking out like you’d forgotten how. It’s a song of pure love, love of the genre, a testament to what rock is and where it’s from; a bristling homage from a chorus of six-strings which succeeds in being unequivocally relevant and spirited. And with no strong aftertaste in your mouth, either.
