Hammer VS The Snake

We nearly missed this! Back in July OxfordBands.com reviewed our Shifty Disco release of Blame (Kick remix). They seemed to like it too, here’s a taster of what they had to say:

Retaining most elements of the original, the track begins with a burring synth riff. Underpinned by punchy drums and interspersed with layers of vocals it drives forward to a great hands-in-the-air breakdown.

Thanks very much to Peter Fry from OxfordBands.com. Remember, you can listen to the remix at our MySpace or purchase your very own copy at OxfordMusic.net.

…said a very wise man once I’m sure. Well here it is, I guess we’re now a proper band! Courtesy of www.oxfordbands.com we have a fair and negative review of Goods. Shame that we did actually win the Battle Of The Bands though!!!

We need bands like HVTS. We need them to inject character into the often homogenous world of local rock music.We need them to highlight the tedium of most Battle Of The Bands entrants.We need their puppet-jerk music to make people dance like awkward animations. But we do need them to make better records if we’re ever to love them.

So not a terrible review, more a gauntlet being laid down: and we accept!

See here! Named as one of Oxford’s Future Thrills! Good stuff, v.exciting!

“If only all bands put as much effort into their nameas these guys” Thanks the Download! Yes that’s right some people out there obviously liked Blame and it got played again(for the third time!!) on the Download. Good stuff and some pleasant comments!

Goods has been chosen as demo of the month in i-Mags premiere issue! Steve has a “lilting voice” it seems!
