“Bam!” goes The Wicked Tomorrow and their self-titled, recently released EP. This duo brings a hybridized mix of Velvet Underground tension and a White Stripes-like clash and bang to their newly acquired table. That said, of course there is a lovely “fuck off” element present in much of the mere five songs that make up the EP. For example, the opener, “Frenemy,” sets the tone in its chorus with “I wanna kill you” acting the part of a friendly welcome. While this is potentially off-putting, it’s the male/female vocal ratio of Ian Jacobs and Michelle Feliciano that provides the hook to keep ‘em coming, and when you get down to brass tacks it’s a perfect pairing.
Given the premature age of the musical duo (after only just debuting at SXSW this past spring) I think that a lot can be expected from this group in terms of advancement, although there’s really not a whole lot to improve upon now (at least, in terms of good ‘ol rocking and rolling).
