Play 90 second soundbite of 'Circles' @ 'CD quality'
'Circles', 'The Letter' and 'All The Colours'. I suppose frantic, attitudal indie describes this trio to a point; their style is one of breathtaking attack, energy and emo-laced rock.
Norbert, Moran and Aaron are Olympus Mons and somehow they all manage to pull the same way and at the same time amidst their own frenetic musical onslaught. If you're gonna listen to this outfit I suggest you hold on to something rigid (not that!) and very secure coz you'll be rockin' off yer feet within seconds of pressing 'play'. Their energy is awesome. Their delivery is electric. They play with a one-ness that's somewhat alarming. Instrumentally these guys are tight and unfussy considering the barnstorming tempo. Vocally Olympus Mons are very distinctive; sort of Lenny Kravitz does Labi Siffri on speed!
With an approach that's as busy as Heathrow's landing strip Olympus Mons are unnervingly unusual. Olympus Mons sound as though they're destined for big things - so watch out, take cover - Olympus Mons are on their way and air traffic control won't be able to spot them coming but you'll know when they've landed.
