Pick Of The Week:
I Can't Escape Myself - The Dare
This week? Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
The Dare, aka Harrison Patrick Smith, is back, taking a crack at a mix of two distinctive bands - think of it as Depeche Mode meets INXS - with all the angst intact. It's got a great build, superb vocals and some lovely fireworks which would do even Robert Fripp proud.
Put me in a black box with a strobe light and I would be in heaven.
There's something so visceral about this cut, even though it's rife with a foreboding sense of alienation. Its electric static gaining power, as if the shock of a scream would be enough to wake you from an inescapable nightmare and make you feel human once more.
A musical moment that would have made David Bowie envious.
Bravo and well done... destined to become a classic.
Midweek hump?
Feeling in the dumps?
Here's some music to make your heart jump!

You are absolutely right.
INXS meets Depeche Mode is right! Love the nostalgia.
XOXO
Your musical tastes are very much hit or miss for me and this one is definitely a hit. You didn’t mention the psychedelics towards the end. I’m usually not a fan of psychedelics but the use of them in this song really elevated it to another level. Well done.
XOXO
