The Adventures Of Loki
Feminine Side
|
Article

Music, like life, is unfair. A band as uninspiring and dull as three-piece boy/girl group The Subways are hailed as the next-big thing, mainly because of their apparently foxy bassist, whilst (unsigned) three-piece boy/girl group The Adventures of Loki have to sell copies of this self-financed single themselves “to get by”. This sorry situation will surely not last for long, because Loki’s riotous blend of passion, energy and goddam rock n’freakin roll, perfectly showcased on three-track single “Feminine Side”, is starting to get the recognition it deserves, without any need for judgement on the foxiness of the four string plucker.
The lead track is, expectedly, the best; a full frontal assault on the ears, which sounds even better played really really loud (as all the best music should). “Fee fi fo fum I smell the blood” they shout, which, apart from reflecting the primal and ferocious nature of the music, proves that fairy-tale lines should be used way more in rock. “Take 9 To Break 5” covers the more typical topic of dissatisfaction at life; “I’m bored” may not be the most complex of lyrics, but it sure gets the message across. “Suck It And See”, meanwhile, contains that most sacred of all rock clichés, the hand-clap. These songs are by no means perfect, perhaps a touch more melody here and there might improve matters, but they’re wild and fun and ballsy and have enough potential to suggest that, if life decides to be fair for once, Loki are heading for better things. Let’s hope so.
