Special Edword - Disguise
By
Grady Smith
I first saw Special Edword about a year ago at Dreamworld Music
Complex, for what was, I think, their first performance there
ever. I was their audience, and I loved it. The room was completely
empty except for them and me, but I headbanged like a motherfucker!
At the time, I didn’t even know they were playing romance
songs, or that a lot of punk rockers would call them an alternative
band. All I knew was that their music was fucking bad ass, and
it made me want to headbang as hard as I could. I waited a long
time to get a copy of their first album, and “Disguise”
was definitely worth it. It has a mix of romance and rock, making
a kind of hard- alternative music that just plain rules!
The title track has a bad ass two, two, two, two beat, “I
will… see you… wake up… with you… I will…
confess… no more… no less.” You crank that sucker
up and you can really rock out. The same can be said for their
most popular song, “Psycho Hoe,” which is my personal
favorite, because it’s a glimpse of anger in an otherwise
mellow background. Track five, “Hey, Baby” was rhythmic
and soothing, making you kind of lay back and smile. The sixth
track, “Astrophysics,” is the most romantic song ever.
It’s a soft love song about how the love he and his girlfriend
feel for each other makes them seem like they are the center
of the universe, free floating in space with each other. No
wonder they have such a big female following.
The laid-back, mellow sound of Special Edword’s music (even
the angry stuff) is created by the use of two (sometimes three)
guitars, as well as a romantic passion, and soft, somewhat melancholy
vocals. For being unique and mixing rock and romance without
too much of one or the other, I give Special Edword’s “Disguise”
my highest recommendation.
