The Fatigue - written by Chris Davies

The following review has been taken from www.newbeats4u.com

The Fatigue have been a great find. Unfortunately they have not got an album so this will not be a proper review. Ill start by introducing you to the band..

As far as I know they consist of four members Steve, Lee, Chris and Jack. They are from various places Brighton and the South East, But I think they currently call Brighton there Home.

This is how they describe themselves We are a four piece, Brighton based, indie-rock outfit influenced by a wide range of artists including Incubus, The Libertines and Jimi Hendrix.

Right down to Business..
Another Night at Ed's - I hope this does not offend them but this track sounds in the ilk of Arctic Monkeys. But i would argue that there is more than just a few chords in the guitar work. I find alot of Indie bands have great muscian's but are let down by poor vocals. Thankfully The Fatigue have both good muscians and Vocals. Its a strong song and of much quality that some of these more established produce.

All eyes on the prize - A bit more of ballad I would say and the theme of good muscians and vocals continue thankfully. Again I would say that this song would not be out of place on the radio at all and again could be a hit. A nice song which performs on every level, The lyrics are very good and meaningful and Im sure alot of people can relate to the song, The line 'there is no song that I could sing, a poem a bunch of flowers to prove your worth to me' Im sure many lads would pull that line out when they are wanting to go and watch the footy. All in all a very strong song lyrically very good.

Trouble At Mill - More upbeat gets your head nodding around and feet tapping. Strong guitars with good riffs that give the song its base. Im glad to say that the vocals still hold up to my high standards and this is a type of song that gets stuck in your head and singing along especially the chorus of ' I call her Trouble Trouble' Another good song not my favourite but still good.

The Grass isn't Always Greener - I like the start to this song but unfortunately it cuts off after about 1minute 30.I think the song address's the problem of money grabbing girls and how the better man loses out to the richer man and how you need to address that issue as 'the better man'. This song was for Juice FM and shows that they are truley gifted muscians and the lead singer has a really voice that suits the style of music and Im confidient if given the chance this will get alot of air play. The Fatigue are a great find.

What Mumma Says - Another recording from Juice FM session and this again shows their talents. Im not normally a fan of acoustic but this song is fantastic. Lyrics are simple but easily identified and that makes it very easy to sing along and makes the song very catchy.

The Fatigue have produced 5 top tracks and are on their way to having a very good album. I recommend them highly, If you like Arctic Monkeys and the likes then you will like these deffinately. All in all a very good collection of songs.
