theStart … With Metropolis?!

Well, theStart is a bit of a toss up when it comes to industrial. For one the band is signed under metropolis records. Secondly, they are classified as new wave. Personally I think they sound like a version of Kylie Minogue and wouldn’t download their songs as of yet. Call me an EBM fanatic or close minded, either way my personal view probably won’t change.
Now for all of you that do like the New Wave and Punk styling of the old 1998 bands such as Snot and Human Waste Project, you’ll need to check out this rather self reliant band. theStart first began when those Aimee Echo and Jamie Miller first met while touring. At first the band would be then called “Hero” but changed due to the name already being taken.
They’ve been signed with many labels such as 143/Atlanic Records, Geffen Records, Nitro Records, and they have even self-published an album called The 1234EP. Now theStart is finally with Metropolis Records and plans on being with this great label for many years to come. They are coming out with a new album called Ciao Baby that is already out on shelves nationwide. The Tracklisting for this new “dancier” type of sound from the band is:
01. Wartime (It’s Time 2 Go Now)
02. Runaway
03. Just A Fantasy
04. Blood On My Hands
05. Millionaire
06. Dance Revolution
07. Master Plan
08. Fix
09. Surrender
10. Ciao Baby
I’m not quite sure on how far this band will go with their new label, but they have been around the scene for some time now and do not wish to be defeated. Many have been saying that this band is bringing about the “Dance Revolution of Punk”, but we’ll see. I admit the band has a knack of staying in the game and a very admirable will of staying alive even when the years have presented them without a label. Many bands like AFI, The Offspring, Rancid, Showbread, Garbage and even The Birthday Massacre (God I love that woman’s voice) have toured with theStart.
I say good luck to the band, and that’s about it.
The bands website can be found at www.thisisthestart.com or on Myspace at: http://myspace.com/thestart . Take a gander, listen, and tell me what you think.
As Always, Here’s Your Fix.
