” How do you sum Hepcat Dilemma up? Well think noise-rock. Think Butthole Surfers challenging Zappa to a lazy duel whilst Jello Biafra stands as referee. We’re getting there, I think, but still way short…”
Reviewer Mark Rockpit delivers a rave review for the new Hepcat Dilemma album, ‘Art Imitates Life’, for the Australian Music site The Rockpit.
” Imagine the new world post punk channeled through a progressive ethic, imagine music that is unconstrained and yet immediate with tight arrangements and a real ‘live’ feel. Add to that some wonderful musicianship and inspired lyrics all delivered with real feeling and this is what you get in nine tracks that lie within these vinyl grooves.”
Mark dives deep into the tracks, and you can as well. Here is how he describes ‘Sky Cycle’, which you can listen to by going to our Music page by clicking HERE:
“… ‘Sky Cycle’ crashes like Zappa and yet has the lighter touch of bands like The Tubes or TPOH, not that either could ever be this blunt-edged of course.”
Mark sums up the album “… this just might be one of my favourites of the year yet its so out of character to what I normally listen to it comes as a breath of fresh air. Sometimes you just need to open your ears to new possibilities and this is an album that does just that.”
