Nozzle – Empires
Posted by AlMachine on Friday, March 14, 2008


Nozzle are a British 3 piece, playing vaguely indie, guitar based rock.

The opener, the title track is reminiscent of The Seahorses, Shed Seven and other Britpop bands from that era. “Complicated” is a bit faster, a hint of the Stones creeps into some of the guitar work and the vocals hint at Bernie from New Order. “Twisted Love” is more of a power ballad and “Buried Alive” is more of the indie stuff.

At this point it is clear that Nozzle have a bit of a problem; “Perfect” could be early Embrace and “Undeniable” calls up Shed Seven again. If we judge the music on what's around today, there is a fair bit of difference and they do stand out as being good. Unfortunately I heard most of this done better 10 years ago, where's the originality?

6/10
