About Me

Speaking of impressing, The Hype were just superb. There's a ghost of Stone Roses running through this band, and that's no bad thing. The lead singer is a pure Ian Brown figure, not quite as elastic, but not far off, and quite imposing, but with a voice and a manner that really fits the band's songs and image. The bassist looks like early Pete Way (bassist of old seventies rock band UFO) and his onstage persona involves playing the bass in every standing position possible while at the same time pulling more facial expressions than Mick Jagger and Robin Trower (old seventies guitarist known for pulling more faces per guitar solo than you could shake a stick at) combined. Besides each were two guitarists who handled lead and rhythm duties especiallly well, while the unknown drummer at the back powered it all along. There was one track that you got the distinct feeling took the Stone Roses "I Wanna Be Adored" by the scruff of the neck and shook it violently while pronouncing "it's not the eighties any more, it's 2007 - wake up and do something!!", which the track promptly does, coming out sounding punchy and vibrant but full of guitar finesse, languid but solid vocals and a perfect example of how good this band are. Let me tell you now, they're not a clone of the Roses by any means, but the feel, manner and magic of that band is present here - definitely a band to keep your eye on.Andy G Review at Dexters In DundeeThe Hype are now a 4 piece band due to personal differences but we still do what we do best!Which is get the place jumping!playing towns over britain, Dublin Castle in London next then who knows!BELIEVE OR BE LEFT BEHIND ..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5 check out the E.P here and view our official site which is www.thehype.org.uk
