Getting Tied Up With The Ropes

August 29th, 2008

Last week I was reading Kat’s Earworms blog of Van She and decided to check out their MySpace. As I was on there an ad had caught my eye and it was for The Ropes.

This duo from New York pumps out some heavy tunes for a two piece band. After listening to their first track Water And Headphones I was hooked. Their sound, Sharon Shy’s voice and their lyrics are great. After my first listen of their 6 tracks on their MySpace, my thought was that they were similar to The Ting Tings. But after listening to them for the past week and getting past the obvious similarities between them and The Ting Tings, the differences started to become apparent. The Ropes have a much heavier sound, less dancy tracks and rough lyrics compared to The Tings Tings. Pay attention to the lyrics and you’ll see that they are pretty rough!

Have a listen and let me know what you think. And while you’re at it check out our First Spin Singles player which is jam packed with great tunes, including The Ropes’ Water And Headphones.
