4. Cockfight!

Sam Coffey And The Iron Lungs have released their first album titled "Bedroom Rock." This album has a very garage sounding shoegaze feel to it. These guys are very raw and unfiltered here. This band has a similar sound to a band like Broncho or even The Dirty Nil, so if you are into either of these artists, you could like this band. They have done an okay job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to just an okay standard. As the band says, these songs were recorded in Sam's bedroom, so it's easy to not expect much. The instrumentation on the album is pretty average as well, they can play, but nothing to really catch you. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics. The vocals on this album are hard to understand at times, since the vocalist seems to be in a very echoy room. From what we can tell, he can sing alright, but it's hard to hear. With the lyrics, again since they are hard to hear, we can only make out a bit. What we can hear is that they sing about love, relationships, people being insulting and fights. For the most part, this is what a lot of bands are singing about, but this band has a different sound to the typical bands singing about those subjects. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Same Coffey and The Iron Lungs have made a very rough, basic first album so that you can get a rough idea of the sound and style the band is going for. We hope this gets better as the band progresses and we can hear a better recording of what they want to do. Not bad for super rough bedroom songs, and we look forward to seeing whats next. Give this album a listen to decide for yourself what you think of it.
