Sixx
>> Demo
Sixx are one-louder than name-o-likes 5ive, but yet there are only 3 of them. Confused? Well don’t be.
Sixx’s opening 4-track demo sits in that 'middle-of-the-road rock' category, with un-inventive guitar riffs and instantly forgettable songs with lyrics that you’ve heard from a million and one other bands. The lyrics at some points even make for uncomfortable listening, especially on track 3; Sexloft - ‘Oh my baby will you look at my gun, just pull my trigger and I’ll have my fun’ is just one example.
However, the production is smart and the playing is tight. Guitar player Jim Cleneghan is obviously a very strong technical player in particular, but there’s no real end product from the songs that’s likely to catch the imagination.
Still Under The Weather seems to the best of the bunch, and maybe a sign that the songs may improve with time. But for now it seems these guys should forget the fancy CD artwork, take a foot down from the monitor and concentrate on the songwriting.
