Calling to mind the likes of The Stunning and early Terrorvision (waaaay before they had that novelty hit about booze) The Band of the Eye’s debut is a solid rock record. The riffs are the right side of sleazy, the song-writing is clever enough to separate the band from their peers (the lyric “We all worship Satan” sang over a sugary melody is a particular favourite) and all in all it’s an encouraging sonic manifesto.
