Song of the Day - June 23, 2005

The Dudley Corporation is an unconventional name for a rock band, but strange names are not unusual in rock. The Dudley Corporation hail from Ireland, and are a welcome import to the States. Their track "Colossus" starts out as a very mellow track, with what sounds like a plucked mandolin, rhythmic vocals in a stop and go pattern, and a vocal chorus of floating, luxuriant, moaning. That soon changes with a paroxysm of distorted guitars, layered sounds, and driving drums in the style of The Smashing Pumpkins. Just as suddenly as the music changes tempo and style, the track stops leaving one wanting more, a mere appetizer of a song. Wet you musical appetite with The Dudley Corporation. Click here to listen.
