It's been said by some that Colour of Fire are being rather unwise in releasing their best song so early on. This is clearly wrong, as 'Decisions Decisions' is not their best song at all. It is perhaps one of their most saleable ones however, being a smoothly-crafted little example of spazzed-up, snotty punk-rock, taking the same influences from Faith No More that the Lostprophets do, but injecting a considerably larger dose of bile and energy. The feverish B-side 'Genki Desu-ka' meanwhile, is worth a mention on the basis that it gives a musical nod to Iggy & The Stooges' 'TV Eye', pulling together the same sleazy, convulsive garage roots as them but sounding, thankfully, fuck all like the current crop of nu-garage contenders.

Colour of Fire - Decisions Decisions

Colour of Fire = New King Adora

This will be repeated until they go away...

Re: Colour of Fire - Decisions Decisions

They might have shite haircuts, but musically they're worlds apart from King Adora by actually being remotely good on the tunes front.

Great single, better use of £2.99 than most of the shite that gets released these days.

Colour of Fire - Decisions Decisions

wow, I really have to disagree: they're not garage at all at ALL
they're so totally not garage it's quite painful that you have called them so.

Re: Colour of Fire - Decisions Decisions

I do believe that was her point. I.e. similar influencing bands; completely different output. Yes?

Re: Colour of Fire - Decisions Decisions

A bit of a pointless point then. There was no need to even mention any sort of garage rock. The essence of influence suggests a similar sound. But they suond like something else. So aren't comparable to garage rock at all. Yes?

Re: Colour of Fire - Decisions Decisions

the iggy-alike b-side does sound like a 70s stylee garage rock tune to me. the rest of the stuff doesn't. hence the comparison for that b-side but not the others.
