Review: Scoundrels – ‘Sexy Weekend’ EP

Posted on 24 May 2012 at 4:43am

Nowadays, when a young London quartet tumble onto the scene twiddling guitars and a low slung bass, the idea of going home to stick Groundhog Day into the DVD player doesn’t sound like such an absurd idea.

But when said young London quartet are billed as a ‘blues’ act, that’s when eyebrows start to raise.

Scoundrels may be a familiar name but let me assure you, they’re not Steve Martin and Michael Caine galloping around the French Riviera in white suits and Panama hats. You think you know the Scoundrels?

Trust us, you don’t.

The release of second album ‘Nathaniel‘ could well be described as the end of the beginning for Brooklyn duo Fifth Nation – a beginning informed by a captivating adventure underpinned by relentless gigging, numerous EPs and a wonderfully eclectic debut LP.

In this exclusive Live4ever interview, lead singer and guitarist King Julia and drummer Musik Read look back in length on their life less ordinary so far, recounting how a chance meeting at an Austin party, leading to a name inspired by the wood-dwelling Chief of a Mohawk Tribe and a subsequent journey lived through the trippy experiences of touring the US in a trusty but temperamental van has all led to this moment – a sophomore record putting them on the brink of an unsuspecting commercial audience.
