another bandname puts pop music where it should be: on
the edge. Their music incorporates pure noise, sheer nervousness and large
amounts of quirkiness. The sound they produce isn’t entirely new – in fact: it’s
been around for thirty years. The late seventies and early eighties saw the
birth of groups like Wire and The Feelies. These groups tried to express
something that was loathed by most of the punk scene: bouncy intelligence. They
recognized the fact that you could take a pop song anywhere as long as it
possessed some kind of melody – instead of making the song some kind of vehicle
for half-harted political sentiments. As time progressed, most of the punk
records gathered dust – but the stamina of groups like Wire was never in doubt.
Nowadays the pop landscape is totally shattered. There isn’t
one leading trend – anything goes. Boredom is a well-seen guest in pop music
nowadays. The punch line goes like this: everything’s done – why make an effort?
Needless to say that the sentence above is often quoted by
groovy hipsters. Fortunately enough there isn’t a single member in another
bandname that has some kind of X-factor. You could easily buy a second
hand-car from each one of them – they look that reliable.
Although they possess a honest appearance – they sound like a
bunch of psychotics. Where other popgroups tend to focus on the image,
another bandname simply “forgets” their image – all their energy (loads of
energy) is expressed in their music. It’s not about looking good, it’s about
sounding just that little different – without being a freaked out free-jazz
combo. It’s about reviving up pop music – pushing it straight into the red zone.
It was earlier mentioned: they just aren’t the new brads in
town. There’s no pose – it’s simply believing in pop music.

Quichote leeft nog steeds in 2007 en hij is een muziekgroep geworden", was
een bedenking die een handvol mensen maakten nadat another bandname
debuteerde in een krap bemeten garage ergens ver weggestopt in het
Meetjesland.
Het
verhaal van de strijd tegen (muziek)windmolens wordt anno 2007 geschreven door
ene Thomas, Reinout & Merijn. Wars van enige "Destined for fame"-pathetiek,
jagen ze hoekige en drukke stadsgeluiden door de versterkers heen. Hun geluid is
geënt op de takken van orginator Captain Beefheart, maar dan in een
kruisbestuiving met een fris-van-de-lever punkattitude. Oude muziek voor jonge
mensen. Zo lijkt het alsof Merijn en zijn bas in een zenuwslopende liaison
dangereuse verwikkeld zijn, terwijl Reinout het geluid evoceert van een batterij
Detroit-autofabrieken: knetterend druk, maar onweerstaanbaar oorprikkelend.
Welke
katten tekstueel gegeseld worden door Thomas, blijft waarschijnlijk voor de
meest doorwrochte Bob Dylan-exegeet een schier onmogelijke vraag. Betreft het
baarlijke nonsens of een muzikale weergave van een immer verwonderde geest?
Horen is geloven.
Net zoals
The Jam en Hüsker Dü (niet toevallig betreft het hier tevens trio's) huist er
een ongekende explosiviteit binnen another bandname. Het soort
explosiviteit waardoor je met jeukende vingers de treble-knop van je stereoketen
steeds hoger schuift. Nervositeit klonk zelden zo spannend anno 2007 te Lembeke.
