The Sunday Reeds
January 25, 2009 – 11:07 pm
The Sunday Reeds are a duo from Melbourne in Australia. The band site bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Velvet Underground, Pixies and The Beach Boys among their influences. I can hear the Reid brothers early rock’n'roll blueprint on the songs on the bands My Space. Songs like ‘Dead Inside’ are laced with a healthy dose of squeeling guitars. Skywave (another band that used the Mary Chain template) are the band they come closest to sounding like to these ears. That’s a good thing. The exciting news is this - not only is their My Space page chock full of gorgeous noise pop - they’re set to release an LP in the UK on Squirrel Records (home to the Manhattan Love Suicides) in April. The LP is to be called ‘Drowning in History’.
The LP is set to contain thirteen songs including thier cracking My Space songs like ‘2000 & Something’, ‘Dead Inside’ and ‘In Our Room’.

You would have never thought they were JAMC fans looking at that sleeve would you? Nor their haircuts. Nor their name. :o)

The band is named after the mistress of Australian art Sunday Reed, as their myspace page states. I don’t ever recall Jim Reid or William Reid ever wearing lipstick or having blonde hair either.

Very true - about the Reids and lipstick! Either way the band have a cracking sound - I, for one, can not wait for this LP to be released.
