FRENZEE - WHATS WRONG WITH ME (GREEN COLOURED) VINYL

“On Crete, art forms are ancient and born of the geography, bound to deep traditions. The custodians of Cretan folk music are the Xylouris family, one of the most revered and respected names in Greece. Apollonia, Nikos and Adonis Xylouris are the next generation. The children of George Xylouris (Xylouris White), schooled and skilled in the ways of the old, these siblings share a kinetic bond that is erupting in real time and their band is called Frenzee.” - Tom Lyngcoln (Nation Blue/ Harmony)

From the raging opener ‘100°C’ to the harmonic death of ‘What's Wrong With Me’, the collective synapses of the siblings are firing. The weight is immense. Apollonia paces in the sonic cell between the wall of Adonis’ guitar and the battery of Nikos' rhythmical onslaught. It’s synchronicity and devoid of artifice. Just big raw power. No, not power. Something more honed and refined and terrifying. Pressure. So much pressure. The maximum pressure any one person can put on a string, a snare, a room, a community or a system. Welcome to the pressure age.

Indeed, Frenzee may be a collective bonded by blood, but there is much more to this outfit. They play with a singular energy that nods to the intensity of the Cretan traditions they’ve devoured throughout their life, but also builds upon the other space of childhood influences, like AC/DC, Hard Ons and The Angels infused with a heavy dose of Bikini Kill, Motorhead, Hole, The Prodigy and Rage Against the Machine. It’s raw and fierce, yet seeped in tradition, discipline and skillset shared through generations of the Xylouris family.
