Imagine the Vampire Rodents with more of a hip-hop flavour and substitute their
classical elements with more of a gypsy-esque/traditional Eastern European
style, throw in some Pop Will Eat Itself sampling mentality and you would have
a slight impression of what this band sounds like. These guys were basically
forced to move to London from their home country of Hungary (due to their
despicable behaviour and lack of respect - their name means the whores of
Szeki, a town in Hungary), which makes their music that much more full of angst
and enjoyable. And the combination of lyrics and music leaves you with an image
of being fairly pissed off individuals. They still incorporate some of their
Hungarian language as well, to make for an interesting and challenging listen.
Their chaotic meshing of a variety of musical styles without regard for normal
structures may leave you confused at first, but if you're in for something that
will challenge you, this will fit the bill. They assimilate a number of samples
from all over the place in their music, and thankfully they are not your
typical Horror/Industrial samples; you'll hear anything from Frank Sinatra to
the Muppet Show to Hungarian television samples. While the lyrics borrow from
the rap camp and can be juvenile at times, they add to the playful, almost
tongue-in-cheek atmosphere of the album.
