Scottish mavericks The Paraffins (first featured on the Devil’s blog back in 2009, Waxing Lyrical) have released a new EP recorded for the Way Of The Tomb night at the Flying Duck in Glasgow. It contains a skweee-tinged take on John Leyton/Joe Meek and a funereal Pet Shop Boys cover and it’s really rather good. It’s also completely free to download from the Paraffins website. Now that’s an offer you can’t refuse.
I interviewed Egyptian Hip Hop the other night,and happily, they proved to be thoughtful, intelligent and as excruciatingly talented as they were excruciatingly young.
Being facile of mind though, I spent most of the interview trying to guess exactly just how young they were – and here’s the answer: young enough to make me feel like an unhip uncle meeting nephews at a wedding and attempting to chat about ‘what music you’re into’.
Talk about your unwieldy band names. Getting the right amount of anananana is bad enough, but then there’s the double header of Aykroyd not being the simplest name to spell either. The funny thing is that the music fits the name. If you’d asked me beforehand what I’d think a band called Dananananaykroyd would sound like, I’d go with loud and fast. And that’s exactly what we have.

If Stephen Malkmus had formed fIREHOSE with Mike Watt and George Hurley, they may have made music akin to Glasgow’s COVERGIRLS. Yes, they’re that good.
