OFFSET Review by www.audioscribbler.co.uk

So what should right now be sounding like? Quite possibly the electronica of Greece’s Berlin Brides, a pleasant diversion from the stern, dour British feeling of the rest of the day in the New Bands tent. One part Yeah Yeah Yeahs, two parts Long Blondes and a truckfull of mid-90s europop, their glossy veneer is shattered by songs about failed celibacy and unsuccessful wanking, always an excellent accompaniment for dance music. They’d be a guilty pleasure if there was anything to feel guilty about, but thankfully the usual twee europop magic doesn’t deprive the band of its edge. They can later be seen by Hainault tube station discussing the merits of Haribo. Bosh.
