This review is from: Decade: Ten Years of Fierce Panda (Audio CD)
Fierce Panda is one of those labels that we only dream about. Simon Williams started it and he was dedicated to discovering new exciting music. It started ten years ago and has released many records. I guess since they released Coldplay and Hundred Reasons first, they are visionaries. I am not sure that they are Creation Records, but they are pretty good. There was some focus of folk music like Bright Eyes and The Bluetones. Placebo and Seafood supplied some heavy rock. Some techno music by Lo-Fidelity Allstars. Some easy listening by Coldplay and Embrace, and also The Clientele. There are some unique bands like Polyphonic Spree and The Music. And then there is Kaito: who can compare to their racket. There was no overall esthetic. Just what was relevant at the time? There is some leanings to moody soft rock with emotion. Some of these songs are not available on any CD because they were released as singles. Let's celebrate.
