A New Chance

Do you know who the tough alliance are yet? If not, then prepare to meet your new obsession for 2008. The media are smitten with the swedish duo and our network is humming like an over-zealous chernobyl powerstation with news that these dapper thugs are jumping on board the good ship modular. But it's their live show that really needs to be seen to be believed...flaunting convention, they flat-out refuse to perform their music, or even lip synch, they believe that modern technology means playing live cannot compete with the experience of just allowing yourself to let go, allowing the spirit in the music to guide yours. This isn't art for art's sake, that's what traditional performance is based on. This is a pure music experience. Some people hate it, some people think it glorifies violence, some people think they are goddamn geniuses. The tough alliance have created their own world through their art, a world that is wondrously optimistic, happy yet melancholic, imaginative and undeniably pop, created by two young gents with their eyes set on creating the future from feelings of the past. It's the sound of danceable rhythms, chantable verses and hand on your heart giant choruses. Come feel the noise.
