Optimistically melancholy power pop
5 MP3 Songs
POP: Power Pop, FOLK: Power-folk
Details:
Formally from the UK, and now based in City Island, NY, this trio are back after a 7 year recording hiatus, and an 18 year live performance break. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Timothy Byrnes, Drummer Kevin O''Malley and relative newcomer, american basist/vocalist Kieran Mulvaney. Says Timothy: "This EP is representative of what we have been doing for the last 10 years. Melancholy, positive, and sometimes painful power pop. If you have ever been in a relationship this will be it for you." Within the 5 songs, The Hunt Club UK cross subjects as seclusion, lost love, faith, the confusion of a relationship, and finally, the wish to restore a failing love.
Full of wit and vinegar, the album is a mixture of 19th century english prose, and hard driving acoustic and electric rock. The UK Music Press has nailed this outing in a most fitting way: "The Hunt Club UK''s Torture Chamber Music has clearly perfected Pain Pop. They are the Oscar Wildes of Pop"
After a short tour in 2006, the band are back to record their first full length CD. Stay tuned......
