control the noise

Noise Control-Steel
Top marks to the record producer who realised that electro was on the verge of taking over identikit indie bands; why not fuse the two together? Well, fuse he has in the shape of Dublin fivesome Noise Control who’s single ‘Steel’ serves to prove the unfortunate issue that the quality of music is no longer as important as the money that follows. The group that has been hailed as the love child of Underworld and The Prodigy is enough to leave music fans in a cold sweat about the future of dance. The harsh and confusing mishmash of ‘Steel’ is an obvious yet ingenious ploy to cover as many genres as possible to reel in the most gullible advocates of all scenes. Is it drum and bass? Is it rock? Who knows, but my god lets take MDMA, live for the weekend, chew through our own lips, and dance whilst looking like utter pricks.
