Nothing:Always:Works – In It (CD Single – Schlemiel)
Genre/Influences: Industrial-rock.
Background/Info: Nothing:Always:Works is a project set up early 2015 by Alexandre Abrunhosa. Operating from Porto (Portugal) this artist was previously involved in different projects and now moves on as solo artist.
“In It” is the first exposure of the band and only reveals one single song.
Content: “In It” is a pretty cool track for the judicious and powerful mix of electronic treatments and industrial-like guitar. The sound is quite rough and unpolished while the vocals reveal a zombie-like timbre of voice.
+ + + : There’s a nice twist between guitar and electronic bleeps.
– – – : One single track is not exactly the most efficient way to catch a wider audience.
Conclusion: One song is not enough to get an idea about a new band’s potential, but “In It” tastes like more so I hope there will be a next –and more consistent, work.
Best songs: “In It”.
Rate: (6½).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
