REVIEWS
*"I love the songs you guys have up on your myspace page! keep up the great songwriting!"
Tony Hoffer - Producer (The Kooks, The Fratellis, The Rumble Strips, The Thrills, Beck etc)
*"Future Sounds comes from India this month, amongst the smoke from smoldering Jade Goody effigies. Meanwhile, in the UK winter has apparently outstayed its welcome if this month's two C&W/blues offerings are anything to go by. These two bands are a gloriously long way from the gak and burnt crack bottles of skinny'ditch.
First up are the immaculately named Oneyesblue, consisting of another pair of Stoddart siblings, how many do we need? I guess we'll just say 'when'. Here we get a genuine blues voice, like shoveled gravel. Despair and blurred regret are all present and correct, along with harmonica and jail breaks into the moonlight; you can almost smell the stale beer and bruised timber bar."
Tom Hocknell - Future Sounds - Rockfeedback-
*ONEYESBLUE: The Basement Blues Sessions VERDICT: *****
THE debut EP from the Midlands band who have been making quite an impression with their live appearances at the Barfly. Featuring bar room Blues and Americana, the only complaint is that, with three of the four tracks less than two and a half minutes long, it's over far too soon. We now await the album!
