So anyone remember the band Sponge and their album Rotting Pinata? Remember how the album as a whole was okay but there were a few solid songs you just needed to listen to? Well Violent Soho's self titled 2010 album is exactly like that minus the solid songs. It's definitely a flash back to the grunge of the nineties and it's not bad, but it's not really good either.
The foursome from Queensland, Australia was described in Blunt Magazine as "reviving the grunge era" and the similarity of sound is definitely there, I just wouldn't have referred to it as reviving. I don't hate it, and could see a more mature band putting together a complete album in the future, but for now I will probably skip this show.
