Transaudio

>> Frequencies

The worst thing about writing reviews is that the spell checker is never on-board with the fancy wordplay of the band names. Man, it is annoying. Anyway, on to the trés ‘00s sound of Transaudio. Treading the deceptively marshy ground of ‘Big Beat Rock’ is a dangerous and often fatal game. Think about Republica! Yeah, thought not. But in an acceptably Primal Screamy, Charlatany, Kasabiany sort of way, Transaudio pull it off.

Make no mistake, dance rock is a genre I’d quite like to see the back of but if you’re going to do it, do it with conviction. ‘Frequencies’ is a song you can see a bunch of mates leaping about to in the Garage on a Thursday, and for that it’s no bad thing. I’ll be at the bar.
