... Nowhere is the glamour and wit of recent years more evident than in the output of the Instant Muscle. They will leave you with their legacy in the simplicity, the driving rhythms, the fun of their trademarks... Once the watcher gets past the gasp-and-giggle stage of seeing this collective, there is much to learn about how one idea can be communicated in one small song. They have a directness and vivacity missing from today's namby-pamby bands. Some of the naive cartoon-like members of Instant Muscle resemble someone you might know down the street, the inbred family next door, or maybe your little brother. These are calculated attempts at associating you, the listener, with their particular product...... The innovative music forms here echo the technological impact of the streamlined era - visual fantasies of sound and, in response to the Great Depression of escape. Their is a certain elegance and motion to many of the songs, with the writers denoting a mood or a focused energy. Certain songs, notably Sexton’s rendition of ‘Fuck You’ has an inspirational brilliance that subsequent Sexton projects have never equalled, while the akimbo type placement of ‘Vibrator’ creates a singsongy visual that corresponds directly to the product. All of the material can be said to be relevant to Instant Muscle's wide-ranging concerns and principles...... The Instant Muscle is nothing less than a history of exquisite maliciousness, the curtain is raised on the deception, turning Sexton, Leo, Julio, Owen, Ray, Holly and Fiona into an overnight sensation. Many bands look to the future, with angular robots and high-tech imagery. Instant Muscle pay homage to the past and present, borrowing the speed of Mercury and the strength of a Trojan warrior...That’s Sexytainment... Instant Muscle are a mighty force.
