The Contrast - A Sinister Flick

One of the best bands on the planet-and England too Steven Van Zandt (Little Steven)The Contrast is the Peterborough based Power Pop band who are the UK's premier exponents of Power pop. Admittedly bigger over there than here. Not surprising really as they had previously been signed to USA based labels including Steven Van Zandt's own label Wicked Cool Records and have released six albums over the past decade. For their seventh album they have signed to a UK based label and are embarking on a UK tour to promote the album culminating with a support slot at Mott The Hoople's Manchester Apollo November 17th date as bassist Overend Watts special guests. A Sinister Flick is a stunning new album that shows clearly why this guitar driven power pop four piece can eloquently produce an album full of great melodies and short catchy songs. Quite simply The Contrast are a band that has unintentionally combined the best elements of different bands into something that is uniquely their own.
