Quadrophobe: Demo

Funk and rock: two words innocuous enough in their own rights but when combined enough to strike terror and loathing into any sane human being. Wantage’s Quadrophobe play funk-rock. Badly. Like, really, really badly: stumbling and grooveless, witless and self-consciously wacky. The band’s singer is a self-confessed `eccentric’, a sure sign he is anything but. `Barbarella’ is notable only for its clichéd wah-wah onanism and the frontman’s moaning-cum-shouting, which he seems to perceive as somehow soulful. `Old Five Legs’, meanwhile, is a musically mundane tale of a five-legged octopus, which shows just how Ker-razy Quadrophobe are. Their parties must be, like, utterly mental. Really. Oh fuck it, this is just crap. Lame, lazy and pointless. Guess that makes me a Quadrophobe-phobe. But as they sing themselves, ‘nothing good will ever come from this’.

    The only thing that is utterly mental is this review. Have you even heard the songs??

    There’s not much point going to their myspace page to see if this demo review is accurate as the songs reviewed on this demo are not on their myspace site. However, the songs on their myspace are utter shit so I guess I agree with the reviewer. For a start they list jamiroquai in their influences. I need to buy a new keyboard now after typing jamiroquai (ah! twice now!) cos it now stinks of shit.
