Wall, their commendable debut album, could have
been recorded at any time in the last 20 years. It
bristles with the mysterious melodic chemistry
that made Boo Radleys'Giant Stepsand Teenage
Fanclub'sBandwagonesquesuch endearingly retrodelic
prospects: a wide-eyed expansiveness, a sonic
playfulness, and tunes ("Start Again", "There's A
Silence", "Why Do You Try So Hard To Hate Me")
with hooks so immediate they swagger into your
head, grab the comfy chairs and start writing out
party invites before they've even reached the
second chorus. While on the surface this is
traditional guitar fare, beneath the veneer this
bares all the subtly applied hallmarks of a rock
masterwork--the work of the White brothers
themselves, who undertook much of the recording in
their bedroom with an iMac, a bank of vintage
synths, and all manner of digital mixing programs.
The next album, doubtless, will be even better.
But right now, as "Silent To The Dark"--think
Graham Coxon in full pop Technicolour--phases back
in after five minutes of majestic electronic
psychedelia, Alex White cooing "When I needed
someone to talk to / You were the only one around"
it's clear you'd have to have a heart of stone to

Small Talk on The Radio

Advantages: Very Talented, Great Debut Album
Disadvantages: Is There much else they can do?

...who released their debut album Holes In The Wall during 2002. At the time the duo were still teenagers but the quality and maturity well beyond their young ages may have suggested. In truth it's a debut that whilst being lauded by NME seemed to miss most people, which was a real shame.

The band are made up of brothers Tom and Alex White who were 17 and 19 respectively at the time of the album's release. In fact the debut caused such ...
...2002's Mercury Music Prize. The brothers collective talents lead to them being able to not only write and record the whole album themselves but also take on the responsibility of playing every instrument on it. With the majority of the record done in their bedrooms they can also claim production credits for large proportions of the album.

In fact the combined efforts of the pair musically are easy to see. The album fits together nicely ... more

The Silence When You Walk Into the Room

Advantages: Nice to hear something slightly different, some really outstanding tracks and good promise from the band
Disadvantages: A few tracks lack the overall quality, room for improvements, need to deliver a really good album now

...to this their debut album Holes in the Wall, eventually nominated for the Mercury Music prize. Not a bad effort all considered. Both the White brothers were teenagers at the time of this albums release. At just 17, (Tom) and 19 (Alex) their young years hardly seemed to matters as they made an impressive debut onto the musical scene. In fact their ages perhaps give them a fearless approach, and the band are clearly not afraid to be a little different ...
...album, very good. 10. Holes in the Wall A much softer introduction to the song with a slower pace to the whole track. Takes a bit of time to really get into the swing of it, but it is a nice enough track. More emotional, behind the vocals and music it is a good listen. A change to some of the sounds of surrounding tracks, but a good quality track. 11. Biting the Soles of my Feet One of the best tracks on the album overall with the penultimate ...

NO HOLES BARRED

Advantages: Impressive Debut From Two Young Brighton Brothers
Disadvantages: The Album Ends.

Holes In The Wall is the debut album from this impressive Brighton based duo of brothers. Amazingly the White brothers, Tom and Alex are aged just 17 and 20, and are musically talented far beyond their years. Between them they play all the instruments, drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, drum machines, piano, bass guitars and synths. As a live act they pull in a bass guitarist and a keyboard player, but amazingly the brothers hop about on stage swapping ...
...So Hard To Hate Me Holes In The Wall Biting The Soles Of My Feet Red Balloon For Me Certainly recommended by me, and whilst I love music, I do find it hard to truly describe a sound, so please be gentle in your comments! From time to time I just have to tell my fellow Ciao readers about something that is so aurally pleasing to me. Released February 2001, on db Records – Catalogue number for the CD is db002cdlp. www.electricsoftparade.com is ...

The great White brothers Hype

Advantages: Shows plenty of potental
Disadvantages: tends to drag in parts

Following in the footsteps of Ocean Colour Sceen, the Inertnational Nosie Conspiray and many other The Electric Soft Parade made a name for them selves by sticking 3 random words together, or so it would seem...They were actually called The Soft Parade, but someone had that name so they stuck Electric at the begining and voila, you have a band name. Another fact about them is that the drummer writes most of the lyrics, original. The debut album ...
...in early 2002, but saddly like many others don't quiet live up to it. Don't get me wrong, it's a good album, but just not as good as it was made out to be. If this album had been something I picked up with out hearing much about them then I would have thought it was great, but it just leaves you with a 'is that it' feeling at the end. However, there are some great tracks on it and their indie pop sound could make it's way in to the charts. I also ...
