Mercury & Glitter

My First Band

Reviewed by Enkeli

The boys from across the street you wish to bring home to mama? Better think twice.. these Helsinki boys could be trouble! My First Band’s latest album, ‘Mercury & Glitter’, leaves you gasping for air even after the last song ends. A rock ‘n roll, dance, garage rock band, with hints of psychedelic funk to keep you hooked, My First Band has something for everyone.

Outrageous, outgoing lyrics filled with strong beats and overly catchy background vocals…you’ll find yourself singing along in no time. My First Band teases you with their song ‘Come Over Woman’ and then goes into a quick ballad in search for your redemption! ‘Mercury & Glitter’ seems to be about different relationships both with music and women; reliving the ups and downs but always in an upbeat, vibrantly colored way.

Like some comedy in your music? My First Band won’t disappoint you! Songs such as ‘Baby You’re Too Young (I Wanna Make Love to Your Mama)’ add that bit of comedy you crave that many artists forget to add in. Whether this comical aspect was intentional or not, it definitely adds to the appeal of it as well as many of the other songs on ‘Mercury & Glitter’. While ‘So Much For The Fame’ gives you a view into the life of a singer, the ups and downs, the highlights and much more in an animated, confident manner. What is fame anyway? A waste of time according to the song!

Get ready to grab your hairbrush and start bouncing around to this awesome album. If you’re into the sounds of Kings of Leon, The Vines and even Blur.. ‘Mercury & Glitter’ is your perfect fit. But will you be bold enough to try it on for size? Try out ‘Runaways’ and ‘Baby You’re Too Young (I Wanna Make Love to Your Mama)’ if you think you can handle it.
