The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Bigger Cages, Longer Chains
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Bigger Cages, Longer ChainsAlthough less prominent than The Hives or Soundtrack of Our Lives, T(I)NC lead the political vanguard of the Swedish rock invasion. Displaying a combination of The Hives’ savvy stage persona and the Gang of Four’s nifty Marxist punk-funk, the Conspiracy knows how to sell its left-wing manifesto: witness infectious songs like “Capitalism Stole My Virginity” from the band’s last album. This EP features six more blistering tracks like “Waiting for Salvation” that explode like Molotov cocktails. Viva la revolution!
