Untitled Musical Project - Untitled Musical Project

They win the prize for the most unimaginative band name ever, but Untitled Musical Project are not a group who have much time for imagination anyway. They barely have time for their own songs, thrashing out eight of them in this debut 18-minute mini-album. The Brummie band make unreconstructed, dishevelled yet urgent punk. Refreshingly, this is utterly pretension free; no fake accents or fake angst here, just unabashed noise-making. Comparisons with Idlewild's early Captain EP or Nirvana's Bleach album arise in songs like The A Minor Pentatonic Scale or the cheekily titled I May Not Be Jimi Hendrix But At Least I'm Not Dead. Untitled Musical Project may not be guitar legends - or dead - but they demand to be heard. [Nick Mitchell]
