Play 90 second soundbite of 'Start Of The Scene' @ 'CD quality'
Perhaps somewhat akin to the commercial rockin' way of Oasis, Svengali rely on similarly hefty tuneful riffs and big rhythmic backdrops to feed and punctuate the slightly angry sounding vocals - nice attitude, good vibe, great energy! Svengali keep it all pretty familiar but not too predictable - on the whole it seems to be a reasonably straight-forward formula that Svengali have utilised and added their own swags and tails to - one that's proved to be timeless and very popular, so why not?!
The three make quite a lot of noise and generate a powerful and pretty shit-hot vibe and certainly 'Start Of The Scene' sounds very viable and 'now'. It's not an earth-shatteringly original style or sound but it definitely is one that works and continues to work - this is definitely an 'if it aint broke, don't fix it' kinda scenario. But hey, that probably sounds a little harsh but I didn't mean it to; Svengali sit proudly and competently in the realms of commercial indie/rock and have much to offer if 'Start A Scene' is typical of their music. 'Start Of The Scene' by Svengali is a ripper and a worker - maybe not an exceptional song in its own right but certainly on the right road and showing promise and potential.
