Info:
The Enemy Rose and Mercy Killers' split And to Become One is a CD that has been in constant rotation in my collection for several months now, but has just recently caught my attention and emerged as an exceptional effort from both bands. Since the styles of music both bands play have been popular for 30 years, it takes a while to appreciate the subtle creativity in the retro and traditional forms in which the bands craft their songs, but it's now clear that both bands have a good handle on what they're doing and how to do it right. Comprised of Tommy X (vocals), who comes from Belgium’s Heartaches and Poor Boys; Seven O (guitar, vocals), also drawing experience from the Heartaches and Poor Boys; Rik Oldman (guitars, vocals) of Berlin’s Radio Dead Ones; Kerry Martinez Andru Bourbon (bass), also from Radio Dead Ones; and Martellotoo (drums), Enemy Rose bring a densely woven realm of talent together. Paying homage to the likes of the Stooges and the Dead Boys in spirit but flailing ahead with contemporary leanings at the same time, Enemy Rose, like the Mercy Killers, fashion a sound that is steeped in punk’s earliest history but with a slick, contemporary style, giving Enemy Rose the momentum their music needs.
