When Radiohead came along, everyone said they sounded like REM. It pissed them off. They proved otherwise. When Muse came along, everyone said they sounded like Radiohead. It pissed them off. They proved otherwise. When Fear Of Music came along, everyone said they sounded like Muse. See how this works? And the chain goes back from REM to the birth of rock’n’roll.
Fear Of Music are Jo Rose (vocals/guitar), Ali Esmaail (bass), Mike Ward (guitar) and Rick Morgan (drums). They formed as schoolfriends, took their name from a seminal Talking Heads album, and together, they’re out to give British rock its soul and spirit back, and power up their hometown of Manchester with some rocket-fuel riffs.
With the spirit of The Smashing Pumpkins, the screech of Placebo, the scale of (yes) Muse and the conscience of Manic Street Preachers, but also the grace of Jeff Buckley and the hysteria of Pixies, Fear Of Music mine a virgin sound all of their own.
