Moth Pick Of The Week

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Discovered by Roger Taylor of Queen fame, Wire Daisies is alternative rock band in the vein of The Cranberries, The Bangles, and 10,000 Maniacs. Their self-titled album is simply fantastic. From beginning to end, each track effortlessly weaves in and out of various tempos, yet still maintains the feel of an actual album without falling into the mainstream quagmire of "just another collection of songs."



The opening track "Make Every Thing Change" easily brings to mind such bands as 10,000 Maniacs except updated and with more of a raw edge about them. In fact, the lead singer Treana Morris for some reason puts me in mind of Dido, that is if Dido had been infused with more of a rock vibe.



Between such tracks as "Gay Boy," "Rocket Girl," and "Mary Jane," Wire Daisies is an album with strong hooks that dig in deep and don't let go."
