The Boy With The Thorn In His Side

So if 2009 was ostensibly the year celebrating girls with synths dominated by the likes of La Roux (#8 in the US, yay!) and Little Boots, it could be surmised that 2010 is the boys’ turn. We have the pristine pop of Hurts on one side. We have to a lesser degree, the silliness of an Ou Est Le Swimming Pool and now comes the Bang Bang Club.  Coming to us from across the pond, this duo has nothing but pure pop on their minds and they have no qualms about sharing their hopes and dreams with all of us.

The debut single Chemistry is a wonderful little package that reminds us why we love electronic pop so much. The style. The glamour. Those wonderful little bleeps, bloops and blurps that come together to form pure pop brilliance. One look at the video and I really thought I was watching a young Robbie Williams singing to a Vince Clarke produced track and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that in my book! Simply put, the Bang Bang Club have all the makings of a band that has the top of the pops in their sights.
