Review Summary: Get your tea and headphones ready.

Acres of Dead Space Cadets is a lovely hybrid of genres. It’s some sort of surf rock, punk, pop rock, and alternative rock oddity with the added spice of raps. Elle Milano is good at pretty much everything, he has a messy vocal style in the best possible way - it’s awesome. The melodies in the album are so smooth that contradicting genres are not an issue. The album gels together with a good vibe, and the rock/punk formula kicks ass. It is a UK band through and through, with nice classic sounding vibes, and it makes me wanna skateboard down the streets of London. Honestly, the music is so good it should be heralded alongside songs like White Wedding by Billy Idol, but I was unable to play the full album on Spotify. What gives.

Conclusion:
- do yourself a favour and check out this hidden gem, it is much fun.

I'll check this out after I finish crying from the realization that Random Access Memories came out 9 years ago.

It definitely does. I distinctly remember writing a review of that back then and getting raked over the coals for it. Even now it still has a 4/8 pos-neg ratio, lol

so basically for a bit of context this was the band that Clarence Clarity was in back in the day. they were also young morts favourite band and an unsung gem of the uk indie scene. they never got very big unfortunately, their biggest achievement opening for Bloc Party like once i think.



after this band broke up the bassist Chloe joined Does it offend you, yeah? and adam crisp became clarence clarity (after having some other projects i think)



all the bands stuff including this album can be found on youtube

also, my guess as to why this band has never ended up on spotify is probs because Adam Crisp has no love for this project anymore and has sworn off guitar music

@ Koris: we all have a review like that. Mine was Kid A. 😉

@ Mort: Thanks for the rec and history lesson mate. It’s a real shame about Adam!

- clarification: the whole album is on Spotify but only one of the songs is playable.

i dont know where you are pizza but for me in the uk you cant even see the album on spotify. all thats comes up is 'Laughing all the way to a plank' because its accessible through a 'lets rock' compilation

I get only that song too. If you look up the album through google and say Spotify with the album title you get the album cover. I’m a Canadian boy.

Sounds like a good mix of genres, I'll give it a listen.

@Mort, that's one issue with Spotify, there's a void when it comes to many less mainstream artists.
