Review: 'LOOSE CANON'
'CRUISING ON THE 86'   

-  Label: 'AKOUSTIK ANARCHY'
-  Genre: 'Indie' -  Release Date: 'February 2005'

Our Rating:
Akoustik Anarchy pioneers LOOSE CANON come at you with a barrage of harried guitars, echoing vocals and a DIY ethos Changing Rooms would frown upon.

‘Cruising On The 86’ sees a song of marked simplicity delivered with a bleak optimism. A song about a bus route? Surely it can't be that interesting but as vocalist Noel Vasquez ruminates and speaks of a ‘party in this city’ the back drop of guitars gather momentum for a towering crescendo that has all the control of a British Sea Power finale.

B side ‘Test 165’, meantime, was written and recorded in 90 minutes and holds a dark repetition akin to Ian Curtis and The Kills guitarist Hotel holed up in a basement.

’You better run, better hop, better skip, better jump in life’. Well do as the man says but do it all the way to the record store.
