In search of something that wasn’t stale, I stumbled upon Ciccone. With a great variance throughout, this Involving thought provoking debut LP is defiantly worth a listen. Eversholt Street is a well-produced, crisp and rounded record. Catchy bass lines and guitar rifts complement the vocals well and the switch between the vocals of Rebekah Delgado and Micky Boy keep you hooked. The diversity and inventiveness of the band is shown with this album, influences the band lists are drawn upon to great effect and this ultimately results in an impressive debut album.
Early punk and 50’s rock and roll contribute to a wide array of influences Ciccone have incorporated into this recorded. The result is a well-crafted debut album. It’ imaginative, true to the cause, involving, dramatic at stages, and has a real caliber to it. In short this is a refreshing new London based band that hopefully will be subject to great acclaim in the near future.
The first single “Look at you now” draws from all that is good about this genre, it’s musically exciting and the vocals are meaningful and cleverly written. It’s a real energetic burst of quality British music that isn’t over produced or trying to conform to set rules to please the mass market, it’s therefore far from parse. This single is going to be the first material many members of Joe public will hear, it’s a great introduction to the band and should invoke a large amount of interest in Ciccone and the following album release.
