Like all the
best guitar driven music blasting its way into our consciousness
in the new millennium, Kubrick are about the distillation of aggression,
melody and emotion.
Frontman/writer
Richard Gombault might well have been the lynchpin of 90’s
Warner signed, indie-rockers Midget, but Kubrick are cut from
an all together more intense cloth. With grooves as wide as the
Grand Canyon and barnstorming riffs that owe a debt of gratitude
to the low-slung thundery of Helmet and Kyuss, Kubrick are slab
heavy, metal merchants. But they know well enough to temper their
assaults with achingly infectious melodies and choruses that apply
for residency in your brain from the first second you hear them!
Self financed
debut single, ‘Reverie’, is a stunning example of
the blueprint the band employ. Rhythmic blocks of guitar and pneumatic
drumming propel the track directly into a contagious chorus and
straight out the other side.
“We
want to remind people of all the things they loved about heavy,
melodic music that nu-metal caused them to forget," explains
frontman Richard.
For
a band bred on an eclectic mix of The Pixies, Nine Inch Nails,
Faith No More and The Cure you’d expect no less. Kubrick
sound compellingly contemporary whilst always remaining noticeably
distant from the waves of increasingly self referential and generic
dross that is clogging up the airwaves right now.
"We
aim to be everything that was ever any good about music."
says Richard with a glint in his eye!
