Dubbed as Urban
September 21, 2006I was surfing my suking PS website, lookin’ at the Audio threads for something worthwhile to download (just to make it clear 
) when I chanced upon an Urban Dub thread, stating that they managed to beat Rivermaya, Eraserheads etc on Album of the year for 2005. That alone got my attention and proceeded to download the album EMBRACE.
Upon listening to the first few tracks, I was immediately blown away…they did’nt sound like any local band at all! They reminded me so much of Smashing Pumpkins with the emo themed songs, the not so verse-chorus-verse arrangement, the band members (3 guys-1 girl playing bass, vocals do guitars etc), even the sound formula (drums dominate the songs, song dynamics, effects driven guitars). Now, I’m not saying that they are SP copycats alright, they still are unique in more ways than I care to describe and I can attest that as i’ve scrutinized both bands. 
To be continued…(Uwian na! Still have to go to the gym and ray’s parteh! woot!)
