Britain's best new band leave no fireworks unlit as they blow the
doors off their house of shiny, happy unpeople.
Stardom has been a long time coming for unpeople. First getting
together back in 2023, the incredibly hooky quartet have been
smashing it up, playing every nook and cranny, crushing festivals
from Slam Dunk to Bloodstock. They even opened for Metallica in
2024. Before that, too, frontman Jake Crawford and guitarist Luke
Caley had spent too many years spinning wheels in one of modern
Brit-rock's great underappreciated bands, Press To MECO. But with
this fast, furious, fizzing first album there's surely no stopping
them now.
Doing what it says on the tin, we are unpeople delivers 12 bangers
which operate as both introduction and defining statement. The
first three - clouds, friends and the garden - have already been
dropped as singles and showcase the band's prototypical blend of
soaring melody and honeyed harmony, carnivalesque jauntiness and
gravelly munch. Fourth track swallow is their first big swerve,
barrelling into the sort of seething semi-spoken word you'd expect
from Kid Kapichi before stretching its legs in a Tyrannosaurus-
sized swagger. Then bottle it walks a schizoid knife-edge between
bittersweet alt. and furious hardcore punk.
It's head-spinning stuff. Gloriously, unapologetically so. One
minute you’re enveloped by dreamy power-ballad blueprints, the next
you're involuntarily yapping along to a heart-racing 'Naa-na-na-
na' refrain on haunted which would put My Chemical Romance to
shame. On waste, smother and the brilliantly-titled kangareuben
there are flashes of hero-worship nodding to Muse, The Wildhearts,
Therapy?, Devin Townsend and, of course, Reuben. At the same time,
they never stop sounding like unpeople: unabashed, utterly
unstoppable.
'Never the devil you know,' they sign-off, stridently, in the final
line of last track as you were. 'Better to go it alone!'
Overflowing with chemistry and confidence, it's a mission-statement
from musicians ready to claim their place at the tippity-top - or
go down in a blaze of glory.

Ripper's Notes:
If you give this a listen, you'll certainly not be surprised I
"discovered" them from chatter on The Wildhearts facebook page.
With two months left, easily a contender for the uncoveted Zoloft
album of the year award.
