The Sterehoes

Very interesting. I have trouble pidgeon-holing 'The Sterehoes'. Their music is hard to classify, it ranges from abrasive and harsh, to a pacific, almost pop sound. They seem to be influenced by artists ranging from Daft Punk to SebastiAn. Quite a contrast.

Of their more mellow songs, 'Wake Up' almost sounds like something Designer Drugs would create, albeit with a more American Alternative flavour. 'Urgent Drugs' has that tap-your-feet Daft Punk disco feel going on, while 'Red Yellow Blue' calls to mind faux-European Indie/Eurovision (?).

The others, are, well, somewhat cacophonous in comparison. 'We Keep It Real' sounds like something I would expect from someone called 'The Sterehoes', hostile and hard hitting. Grinding, crunchy bass, and off-key squeals remind one of SebastiAn, while auto-tuned female vocals are very Boys Noiz-esque. The Sterehoes' remix of Minitel Rose's 'Continue' displays aspects of Mustard Pimp/The Toxic Avenger. In other words, heavy handed snares and crashes, chopped up, warped vocals, escalating growls and thick slabs of bass. Ouch.

But the good type of ouch.

Don't be a music snob, the music is a whole lot better than the artist name suggests. An act to watch.
