Thee Unstrung - Who Runs The Show

There is a stigma that surround Thee Unstrung these days. They have become a band somewhat unfashionable in indie circles to utter any mention of like for them. Just the other night as an experiment I decided to wear a Thee Unstrung badge to a popular indie club night in London to see what the reaction would be. It was conclusively negative from the vocal minority.

With the release of the new single from their EP, 'Who Runs The Show And Gems From The Cutting Room Floor', they set-out to prove the doubters wrong. At just over two minutes long it is a fast-paced, aggressive tune. Whilst retaining these assertive qualities you cannot stop nodding along to the beat and dance along, if you were so inclined. A chant friendly chorus for the gigs and clubs helps in this respect. You can sense a passion in the lyrics which comes across in the short sharp shot of a song. Thee Unstrung deserve more credit than they receive and it might be the time to sit up and listen.

3/5
