Play 90 second soundbite of 'Hey! Watch This!' @ 'CD quality'
stacked with commerciality and rammed with singalongability, 'Hey! Watch This!' is thunderous and instant song that sounds like it's gonna be a real contender.
Think the punkish state-side aggression of Green Day, think the pedal-pushin' true British laddishness of McFly and hovering somewhere in the middle would be The Auteur; they've got a real trans-Atlantic feel about them and 'Hey! Watch This!' could, just could, be massive for them. Certainly it's the kinda song that the younger generation find exciting nowadays; from skaters to boarders, bikers to bladers, they'll all be able to get their kicks with this on their portable players as they kick out against the system and plough through yer Gran's prize geraniums!!
The Auteur captivate that essential element that many bands fail to achieve; they sound like they not only believe what they do but that they also thoroughly enjoy what they do. And, that belief and commitment is almost tangible as The Auteur blast out their three songs here with t'riffic gusto and monstrous heart. Supporting the lead track The Auteur also offer you demos of 'To Cut A Short Story Shorter' and 'Trampoline' - all three in the same sort of idiom, all three stonkin' pop songs performed with sweat-soaked passion and electrifying power.
'Hey! Watch This!' by The Auteur is a perfectly proportioned pop-rocker; it's ballsy yet youthful, blindingly rockin' yet solidly pop-sided - the formula is on the money, the execution is exemplary and the final product is totally now and truly viable. The Auteur have got pop if you want it!! I'm pretty sure there'll be many takers and we'll be hearing quite a bit from The Auteur in the future - quite right too! Hey, watch this indeed!!
