saf-one Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 "There's not too much to get excited about in London of late (as if Londoners would ever allow themselves to do such a thing) but beaming through are the immaculate conception known as Stricken City. Full of wonderful - if odd - influences, like Life Without Buildings, The Sugarcubes and Bow Wow Wow, they shuffle timidly onstage and become complete, effortless pop stars. Led by a striking apparition known as Rebekah Raa, they make you feel a little bit sorry for every other band trying to get somewhere" - NME- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Didn't realise there was an Aberdeen connection.Preferred the double A side debut Tak o Tak and Bardou, but Lost Art is a good un tooCulturedeluxe - Stricken City Profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The recordings have some nice moments, but on the whole I find them a little dull. I like the guitar tone and the dynamics of the drumming, but they just lack actual tunes, in my opinion. Josephine and Life Without Buildings have already done it. And without the need for the pointless electronics.Though I get the impression they may make a killer live act, in the right environment.I'm sure ACTH will have them playing here soon.

saf-one Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 They're great live so you might yet be convinced. Doing a couple of the NME tour dates and a gig or two supporting Mystery Jets in early 09. We'll get them up the road after that and see for yoursel - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saf-one Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Debut mini-album come story so far from the fabulous band who've just finished a massive tour supporting Maximo Park. With nods to Talking Heads songrwriting and Young Marble Giants minimal lushness, SC's lovely sunny sound is yummier than an ice cream on a summer's day.Sample tracks and pre order etc here: www.puregroove.co.uk- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
