THE
POTENTIALS – 'We Are the Potentials' CD review
THE
POTENTIALS are class; they play 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' themed
fuzzy pop-punk (yes, seriously) that's lo-fi, catchy, and full of
energy, with some really funny lyrics and absolutely loads of
three-part vocal harmonies. That's actually one of the best things
about this EP; pretty much constant vocals of mostly singing but with
a bit of shouting too. Lyrically and musically, it predictably (being
themed on a show of that era) has a pretty 90s vibe, but generally
reminds me of bands like FABULOUS DISASTER. My two fave tunes on here
are the irresistibly catchy opener 'The Potentials Theme', which is a
perfect introduction to the band (and I believe has a video now), and
'Hail Moloch' which is probs one of the most memorable and fun tunes
on here, but this is an entirely enjoyable listen, whether you're
into Buffy or not. It has awesome artwork by Jack Fallows too!
