Whats Wrong With Me

Rough Trade Shops tip for the future. It's full of intensity and big hooks. It'll hit you with a sledgehammer. It's like hearing Amyl and the Sniffers for the first time and instantly falling in love. What’s Wrong With Me is the debut long player from Greece based, Australian born powerhouse siblings Frenzee. From the raging opener ‘100°’ to the harmonic death of ‘What's Wrong With Me’, the collective synapses of the siblings are firing. The weight is immense. Apollonia paces in the sonic cell between the wall of Adonis’ guitar and the battery of Nikos' rhythmical onslaught. It’s synchronicity and devoid of artifice. Just big raw power. No, not power. Something more honed and refined and terrifying. Pressure. So much pressure. The maximum pressure any one person can put on a string, a snare, a room, a community or a system. Welcome to the pressure age. Indeed, Frenzee may be a collective bonded by blood, but there is much more to this outfit. They play with a singular energy that nods to the intensity of the Cretan traditions they’ve devoured throughout their life, but also builds upon the other space of childhood influences, like AC/DC, Hard Ons and The Angels infused with a heavy dose of Bikini Kill, Motorhead, Hole, The Prodigy and Rage Against the Machine. It’s raw and fierce, yet seeped in tradition, discipline and skillset shared through generations of the Xylouris family.
