Harry: Under the Covers EP

"I bet you look at me and think I am a dumb blonde". No kidding, although some other choice phrases sprang to mind throughout Harry's sleazy whoring, errr re-working, of Salt'n'Pepper song Push It. Yeah, "push it real good". It's not just the voyeuristic vocal delivery that sells this single, there's a dirty great synth at work throughout and a booming bassline to backdrop. The guitars are quite heavy and intense too, making 80s synth pop just go very heavy. A final cover of Bauhaus' She's in Parties is the best one of the lot: NIN meets Blondie perhaps, or isn't that just Placebo? Ok... so I admit it... I'm the target audience for slut rock girl wearing black suspenders in press photo - sod the fact its three cover versions - yeah, jeez don't have a go. Guys, if you don't have the press photo, watch the video. But I'm one step ahead because I know this already, and I don't care. Ha, suckers. Sex sells, love it.
