We loved the debut EP from Suinage back in 2007 and wrote that it was promising and we were looking forward to a full length. It has arrived and it is a scorcher.This Italian power pop band combines all the frenetic energy of Australian bands like The Chevelles and connects it to the dusty, rocking and howling sounds of Jason & The Scorchers. Suinage have the energy and power that the first two Joe Jackson albums had(the lead singer sounds a lot like a really angry Jackson and Adam Marsland, too), as well as bringing to mind late 70`s mod-power pop UK-based alongside the modern-drive of The Plimsouls, late-era Husker Du, The Replacements and The Lemonheads. The bottom line is their onto something very cool as each of the twelve songs here strongly assert. What I find myself being pulled into with "Shaking Hands" is that normally rocking pop with a singer that is not all squeaky clean, polished up for the studio is something I may have a hard time highly recommending to picky pop fans. What I mean is that lead singer and guitarist Pilli Colombo screams the songs into the speakers but the gorgeous, riff-ready melodies of the songs wash right over the top of the vocals making the sound original, interesting and something that makes Suinage stick out from the pack. They are just not another pop band trying to rockingly capture your hearts. They are honest, pure and ready to move in.
I thought the words of their bio are apt and accurate enough to share: "Suinage is a strange word. Suinage are Pilli, Flavio and Ariel. Suinage`s influences go back to classic powerpop sounds of the 70`s and indie rumours of the nineties, mixed with the everlasting power of rock`n` roll. By the way, Suinage doesn`t want to be focused in no particular standard. Suinage doesn`t belong to any specific musical, or cultural scene. Thank you." AMEN! Extremely Highly Recommended!
