Influences: Huge CD collections mean plenty influences.Paul says:If influences include stuff that your dad played and those first records that stayed on the turntable for weeks, then....Anyone and everyone from Tom Jones, Abba (dont knock it..they knew what they were doing..), Oasis, The Cult, Meatloaf, Paul Weller, RHCPs, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Gary Numan, Iron Maiden, Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, Zemfira, The Human League, U2, Big Country, Simple Minds, Bon Jovi, Anouk, Oasis, Duran Duran, Head Automatica, Did I mention The Cult?? Billy Duffy is a genius, Guns n Roses..yeh plenty..The guys admire the like of Queen for being willing and able to produce those early albums with many different musical styles in the space of 10 or 12 tracks....thats cool.
Sounds Like: We are Kinky Durakee, ......and aim to sound like ourselves.But..... some comparisons from those who listen:"The lead vocals are like... Nora Jones and John Mayor went off and had a love child and she ROCKS..""Cool sound, the singer reminds me of Dido, could definitely be on the quality new rock stations. Makes me feel good, I love the chicks style, gets more skillful then Dido usually does.."and another Dido comment.."Like Dido but without the wetness.."But Dido doesnt have chunky, driving guitars, bass lines of bubbling chocolate and reeeal drums......we do.
