Music reviews
Two Choices, Ocean Rooms, Brighton, Apr 21
The staging for the launch
of Brighton band Two Choices's debut album Longest Journey couldn't
be faulted.
The bar was free, finger food was piled high and the great and good of Brighton were present, from Allan Love of the Gordon Ramsay-assisted Love's Fish Restaurant, to the genuine legend Roger Daltrey
of The Who.
All it needed was for the band to rise to the challenge.
There was no faulting their playing, or their enthusiam, as they ripped through four songs from the album.
But after the synthesised siren call of new single
Take Your Hands Off Me, there wasn't a lot that
was particularly memorable.
Lyrics were of the "we can make it through", "we've got to get away" variety: very worthy, but nothing we hadn't heard before.
And although the band created an impressively powerful backing with just guitar, bass, drums and occasional keyboards there were no classic rock riffs to blow you away.
