Scanners – Raw

• 4th Nov 2007

Soaring Repulica meet Robots In Disguise with a flying visit from Client, encapsulates a flighty, quintessential British sounds that really took off in the 80s. So, naturally, it won’t surprise you to learn that South East London’s electro/new wave light screaming quartet, Scanners have actually been making bigger waves in the USA. That should change with this gliding, soaring and frantic vocal spasm concealing single that extols the virtue of firm mindedness.

They use the snappy Gwen Stefani and Helen Marnie conjoining vocal assertion of Sarah. Despite an old school rawness there is a fresh defiance and backing push to endear them to NU Rave devotees. Versatility is the key these days and this snippet oozes that quality.
