The Subliminal Girls are in fact 5 chaps that are based in and around London. The band caused a mini stir last year with their infectious 'Burn Koko' single - which seemed to suggest that arson would be good thing for the London venue of the same name. Although Camden was on fire last week - rumours of Subliminal Girls involvement seem to be unfounded.That's all well and good - but all this has nothing to do with this EP. The 'Hungry Like The Wolf' EP which came out in January this year on Weekender Records. It's a curious EP - but it's hardly got anything to get me excited on it. The lead song is a cover of the Duran Duran favourite from the early 80s. It's nice enough - but hardly a magical reinvention of the song and if you're going to cover a song that is that well known - a twist to make your own wouldn't go a miss. It's got more guitars and less synths than the original and I'd wager the video is lower budget - but that hardly counts as a sweeping remake. Elsewhere we get 'Wltm' which comes over like The Jam -but replacing the grit with glitter. Again - it's not bad - but it certainly not good, either. And the EP limps off quietly with 'Self Obsession' the lightest piece of light weight 80s inspired pop of the three. I didn't hate the EP - I just couldn't find much here to get excited about. I am sure it will go down a storm at 'Student Discos'.
