::The Future - Q Track of the Day Review::
There are loads of new bands at the moment doing that La’s/The Coral/raspy-voiced scouse-jangle thing – we’re thinking of the likes of Sergeant, The Sonic Hearts, and The Troubadours - but Reading’s Beggars are the ones with the most obvious potential. They’re also the only ones you can imagine covering a song as complex and knotty as Leonard Cohen’s The Future and not sounding completely out of their comfort zone.
An apocalyptic prophecy in the style of A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall that pivots on the pitch-black refrain, “I have the seen the future, brother/It is murder”, The Future featured on Cohen’s gloomy, state-of-the-nation album of the same name in 1992, and two years later emerged on the similarly tenebrous Natural Born Killers soundtrack. However, Beggars turn the song into something that’s furious and accusatory rather than cracked and fearful, with 19-year-old singer Jamie Girdler replacing Cohen’s desert-dry whisper with his own incisive, declamatory wail.
The only place you’ll be able to buy The Future is at their live shows supporting Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong throughout April and May. A proper single release will emerge in May, followed by the band’s debut album in the autumn.
HEY! Thanks for all the support!I've lost a total of 19 pounds since I started and wanted to let you know that the new pics are up! Go check them out and let me know what you think! Again, thanks. You are awesome. =)
hey just a quick comment to say I have seen the band before (supporting Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong). I enjoyed you then, but I just saw you on friday at Glastonbury and with the keyboards, the sound is even better!
Great show at Jo-Jo's and great to meet up again with almost all of you (sorry Daniel Drums). You get tighter and sharper all the time and the organ really helps fatten the sound. Good luck at Tent City. Mike
Alright lads, saw you at Madame JoJos last night, thought you were absolutly brilliant, will be coming to see you again for sure, get that album released soon! Cheers , Rich
