Cage The Elephant Review

12-08-2009 08:18 | 0 reaction(s) | add reaction | add news
Matt and Brad Shultz, the brothers behind this Kentucky-bred garage-punk quintet, grew up in cramped confines with a pious dad who didn't like secular music — a good recipe for acting out later. Despite callow lyrics and what sounds like an unfortunate Nineties rock-rap influence — "In One Ear" sports G. Love and Special Sauce-style rhyming — Cage the Elephant make a fine mess on their debut: Singer Matt Shultz, a vocal dead ringer for the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner, conjures white-blues forebears and barks with abandon on songs like "Free Love," a skronk-y cut about a lady who "like(s) it rough" that rocks so enthusiastically you wonder if the band thinks it's breaking new ground.
