Shush are a prime example of why one should not judge a book (or, rather, a CD) by it's cover. The name "Shush" and the somewhat cheery exterior of the CD had me thinking "I'm not gonna like this". As many of you know, as a general rule, I like my music angry and aggressive, but that's not to say that I don't enjoy my odd lighter moment.... and Shush fill this moment perfectly.
Dark melodies, a great guitar sound and some of the most infectious vocals I have ever heard make me want to listen to this 5 track EP over and over again. Also, I don't know whether it's because it's sunny today, but the tracks here have a fantastic summery feel. I'd definitely want to put "xxx" on my fictional Summer BBQ CD.... I really should make that CD...
Go over to the band's MySpace now and pick up a copy of the EP (or you can get it on iTunes) and get yourself a healthy-sized dose of glamtastic pop rock. Ok, that last bit was a bit cheesy, but I swear it's worth it!
