想象下The Cure和Siouxsie and the Banshees共同孕育了一个婴儿,与 Joy Division, The Smiths 和Killing Joke 一起拉扯长大。。。
Imagine if The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees had a baby and raised it with Joy Division, The Smiths and Killing Joke...
Split Works Presents...
EAGULLS
Support: Sinkers
Eagulls并不是《加州旅馆》的老鹰乐队
No, before you start singing Hotel California, NOT The Eagles...
被英国和美国乐评家捧为新一代后朋克希望的Eagulls乐队将*来到中国巡演,以庆祝传奇巡演厂牌Split Works的十年圣诞! Eagulls 来自英格兰的利兹, 传承了80 年代英国后朋的皇堂,而如今骄傲地戴上了这个王冠。
Touted by British and US music critics as the greatest hope for a new post-punk generation, Eagulls are coming to China for the first time to celebrate the tenth anniversary of legendary touring label Split Works! EAGULLS from Leeds, England hail from a long line of 80s British post-punk royalty and are now wearing the crown confidently upon their handsome heads.
NU SPACE很开心将迎接Eagulls作为他们*中国巡演的*站。暖场乐队将是来自本土厂牌Nofi, 生气勃勃的独立摇滚乐队Sinkers,将带来结合安静沉思的emo, 清脆的吉他与和声的演奏。我们超级期待这场演出!你呢?来耍散!
NU SPACE are ecstatic to welcome EAGULLS to Chengdu on the first stop of their four-date tour. Playing support are up and coming indie rock trio SINKERS from the local Nofi label, who will bring their sweet combination of contemplative emo, swish guitar riffing and choral harmonies. We can't wait for this show, come join us!
脱缰的码速、弥漫的嗡声、热情洋溢的贝斯线,Eagulls的音乐如入无人之境,大胆张狂,同时闪烁着奢华的微光,以及厄运和不详的忧郁气质。他们直截了当、无遮无拦,像是苦修中的吉他乐队,让你甘愿在不安的歌词和紧张迫切的旋律中溺亡。Eagulls的哲学与Split Works始终坚持的理念紧密契合。作为坚守原创精神的勤奋的独立乐队,他们曾写过一封在业界掀起过轩然大波的公开信,每隔一句*会出现“fuck rite off”的字样。这非常Split Works。
““Eagulls在早已不新鲜的后朋领域,杀出了一条人迹罕至的路。”——Q Mag
他们音乐中激进狂怒的成分,能听出Dream Pop, Grunge, Hardcore, Post Punk的鲜明影响,又时而笼罩着一层歌特的色彩。想象一下把The Cure, The Cocteau Twin, Joy Division, The Smiths的标志声响扔进搅拌机,撒上点21世纪特有的疏离感,产出物*是Eagulls。
Breakneck post-punk, with heady fuzz and gushing basslines. EAGULLS are brash and brazen, lined with shimmering opulence and ominous gloom. They’re straight-up straight-edge guitar rock, with unsettling lyrics and frayed melodies. This is a hardworking independent bunch with staunch DIY ethics, one that once wrote an infamous open letter (at the height of their music industry buzz cycle, no less) that contained the phrase “Fuck rite off” every second sentence.
““Post-punk might not be new…but Eagulls have defiantly made it their own.” --- Q Mag
成都独立/噪音流行乐队,主要受80至90年代的独立音乐浪潮影响,时而沉寂时而活跃。音乐谈不上太多深度,成员也很不摇滚,并不妄图表达太多,暂且沉浸于一些不起眼的情绪。
