Editorial Reviews

Product Description
2008 debut album from Hadouken! a Grindie band based in Leeds, UK. The band formed after James Smith and Daniel "Pilau" Rice met at Leeds University, where they set up their own Label. Hadouken! is taking convincing steps towards becoming the definitive 21st century Pop group without sacrificing any of their character or credibility! A layered, dense album that attacks the senses and mixes grime aesthetics with a DIY indie ethos, this album is a truly unique work. Includes the singles 'That Boy That Girl', 'Get Smashed Gatecrash' and 'Liquid Lives'. 11 tracks. WEA.

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprised but not totally impressed., March 2, 2009

By	Ben Scott - See all my reviews

After hearing one of their tracks on a mixed CD, I had to get another look at them.

The CD is really more of a guilty pleasure, with over the top beats and juvenile (at times hilarious) lyrics I had a hard time taking this album seriously.

Right down to it, it's a decent party album with some surprisingly catchy tracks. The melodies seem to of been taken right out of a video game, but when put next to a decent beat they surprisingly hold their own. The heavy Leeds accent and party-esque lyrics will appeal to the ages 13-20 likely.

It's certainly not what I'm used to listening to but I recommend it.

What a stunning Debut Album from this Leeds outfit. Having heard there new Single "Crank it up" (and Easily the best track on the album), I went out and bought the Album. Its hard to Pigeon Hole there sound, maybe Hardcore Techno Rap, but it just refreshing to hear something so new and Different in this age of Boring FM rock.
