Imagine the Yeah Yeah Yeahs without the pretension of a female fronted Death From Above 1979; think about how excited you’d be. Based in London, UK the Noisettes are just that: exciting, dangerous, fresh and conscious (yea, all of those). The band is composed like so: fronted by Shingai Shoniwa (vocals), with Dan Smith on the guitar and Jamie Morrison on the drums. The Noisettes present an urgent sound on their debut, What’s the Time Mr. Wolf? On tracks like “Iwe” and “Don’t Give Up” you can see why they were invited to tour alongside bands like Muse, Babyshambles and Bloc Party. Don’t take my word for it though, London's ICA described Shoniwa's singing as "Billie Holliday on PCP." Rolling Stone named them one of their bands to watch. Still not convinced, listen to this:
Iwe
Don't Give Up
