REVIEW: United Enemies - single Power Music, 2002
9/10
United Enemies - single - cover art This 2 song single is the follow up to the debut single "I don't wanna change" (what a total anthem this song was. A must have song for every DJ), that only contained one song. (I hope that their new release doesn't only contain 3 songs! A full-lenght cd is in order, alright?). The first song "A new drug" reminded me of the best moments of the Backyard Babies. The second one, the excellent "Love Destruction" sounds sick and fucked-up and that is meant in the nicest possible way. It is a combination of the Stooges / Iggy Pop sound plus all the sleazy rock that you can possible handle, all in one. Apparently this Swedish four piece includes a female guitar player in the line up, but also Andy Pierce's vocal talents who some of you might remember from his contributions with Nasty Idols and Machine Gun Kelly. I did have one of the several Nasty Idols releases - the one that included "Cool way of Living" a video clip that was played several times by MTV's Headbangers Ball- but I never heard anything by Machine Gun Kelly. I just know that their video clip "Whiteline Offside" -that was the name of their debut album too- was banned by MTVsince the band members were snorting cocaine on that clip! Anyway, lets leave Nasty Idols and MGK alone for now, because the future is here and it's bright. UNITED ENEMIES can easily be the next big thing, provided that they put their shit together: tour heavily and release a full-length album that has songs as good as the 3 songs mentioned in this review.
