  • We Say...

    Hailing from Italy and having a flair for both high drama and grim, grimy rock songs, Afterhours has already charted in the Top 10 in their home country and earned raves from both Mercury Rev and the Twilight Singers. Vocalist Manuel Agnelli has a voice like a bag of broken glass, hard and crude and serrated, and its perfectly suited to his group's dour rock songs. "I taste the leather/ of your skin" he groans in "Fresh Flesh" as skeletal guitars stalk and skulk behind him. "White Widow", with its faux-"Hollaback Girl" rhythm, tense guitar strum and Agnelli's manic yowling, keeps the tension at a slow, threatening boil. Ballads for Little Hyenas has knives drawn and teeth out, ready to move in for the kill.
