Cutting Some Shapes

Not Squares
From: Belfast, Northern Ireland


On debut single 'Asylum' (Richter Collective) Irish punktronic (we really do love inventing these meaningless genres !) trio Not Squares sound like they've been wired directly into the national grid. It's a bundle of nervous energy, a frenzied four and a half minute sensory assault that sounds like Liars after a red bull overdose. While the lyrics won't win any literary awards when the sound's this infectious who's got time to read the lyric sheet?


'Asylum' is not a one off slice of genius. Check out the band's Last.FM site where you'll find a whole setlist of tracks that are even more demented, kinetic and wired.

After listening to Not Squares I need to lie down in a darkened room and get my breath back.
