Sharabang's sweet offerings
When a band brings their own home made tarts and cake to their gigs, it makes you wonder if the food is to compensate for the music.
But Pink Sharabang prove that the chef can make music just as well as she can bake.
And there are no ingredients really lacking with this sickeningly good band.
Their On The Road EP is a compliment to what Pink Sharabang can do musically, it has it all, the talented but not over-zealous instrument playing, the lyrics that just take you away on lead-singer Amy's adventures and an aftertaste that just puts a smile on your face.
And the EP really does just lead you on that journey that you'll want to take over again, starting with The 57 whose catchy choruses help you along that Sheffield route to Down Town which is more rock with a fee-good twist and executed soulfully through a nifty guitar solo and a powerful vocal chorus.
Freshman's is the perfect swinging song, from the hypnotic keyboard intro to the sing-along lyrics about the Sheffield store and the stereotypical name for the hip guys of the 60s.
La La La is more wah than anything else, whereas Peace Gardens is filled with love and all the other things needed for that loving feeling.
Goodbye, meanwhile, captures the heartache and possible break that we all feel at some point.
And live Pink Sharabang aren't just about the free food, they really do perform to such a high quality that it's easy to say that this band aren't going to be baking cakes for small audiences for very much longer.
