The joyless, razor-edged rock of Joy Division (and its many 80s descendants) has obvious fans in the Cinematics. The group joins the celebration of stiff-backed English rock, succeeding with stellar execution on every gritty riff, and most importantly, powerful lead vocals.
This is how NME described the sound of Scottish foursome the Cinematics.Like so many of the current crop of 80’sinfluenced UK acts, the band elicits the cold, grey, stark and sometimes austere side of life in the North.Powered by tight grooves that demand movement and passionate,powerful and thoughtful vocals,the Cinematics also bring emotion and warmth.The end result is music that transcends any trends or underground niche. Their debut album “A Strange Education”is a brilliant collection of dance-punk grooves and guitar interplay with lead vocalist Scott Rinning’s ardent vocal delivery. In his early 20’s Rinning’s voice reveals a power and gravity well beyond his years. Their singles “Break,”and “Keep Forgetting”each find a place that resonates in your heart and in your Already too “big” for the small club stages, the Cinematics live show is flawless. Powerful, tight and often inspirational, a Cinematics show reminds you of those special times when you saw legendary acts before the rest of the world. The current single “Break”will be followed by “Keep Forgetting”and it’s incredible accompanying video.The clip see the band in a modern version of classic French New Wave Cinema. A Strange Education hits in February,2007.
