Dorp

Simon Says

Label: Caned and Able Release Date: 09/04/2007

22916
lsteinberg by Lianne Steinberg April 11th, 2007

Dorp are one of those bands that are made for European MTV or, worse, Eurovision.

Impassioned stadium rock, like Savage Garden pretending to be Nine Inch Nails, 'Simon Says' is a blend of electro-rock that apparently provides commentary on the recent spate of natural disasters. And just in case you don’t get the powerful political message of "Here comes the biggest wave, catch it if you can" there’s five extra remixes of the track to torture yourself with.

In short: shudder.
