Stolen Babies
The End Records strikes again with another
genre-defying band, in the form of California's
Stolen Babies.
Seemingly everyone who has ever commented on
this band has a different description, from
horror punk to
"Oingo Boingo meets
Cradle Of Filth"
to cabaret metal to
"the kind of band Tim Burton might like, if he
were into metal".
There's truth in all of those descriptions
(additionally, one should probably add Mr. Bungle
as an influence), and putting
them all together might be the best way to comprehend
what this strange band is all about.
And yet, as odd as the image might be, these guys
(and gal) aren't just randomly stringing bizarre influences
together without sense -- the songs are cohesive and
enjoyable.
Frontwoman Dominique Persi (who also somehow
incorporates an accordion to good effect) is a true star,
with vocals ranging from a clear voice to vicious screams,
but always in control and always interesting to listen to.
Sure, Stolen Babies aren't going to be confused with a
conventional metal band anytime soon, but even those
who don't find the above description appealing might want
to give this band a try.
Certainly they're a perfect fit for The End Records.
