A Doubtful Sound

BORN OUT OF AN EARTHQUAKE STRUCK CITY, LITTLE JOBS, NO BARS AND 20 PEOPLE A NIGHT TO WATCH YOU PLAY, A DOUBTFUL SOUND WERE TRULY BROUGHT INTO THIS WORLD OUT OF NOTHING. FOUNDED BY HAMISH WOODSIDE IN 2005, WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN PLAYING IN MANY ROCK BANDS AND CRAFTING THAT INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE SOUND, WOODSIDE HUNTED DOWN ALREADY WELL KNOWN HARD HITTING, ANIMAL, OLLIE LAW. THEY BOTH BEGAN WRITING THEIR HUGELY SUCCESSFUL MATERIAL BEFORE SITTING DOWN TO WRITE THE FIRST FEW TRACKS, SHOOTER & THE NIGHT WITH LOCAL PRODUCER, RICHARD FREW. THE NIGHT WAS LATER MASTERED BY LEGENDARY AUSTRALIAN PRODUCER, STEVE SMART WHO HAD ALSO WORKED WITH FLEETWOOD MAC, THE CURE AND PINK FLOYD TO NAME A FEW. AFTER RETURNING THE FINISHED PRODUCT TO THE BOYS HE ASKED, “ARE YOU SIGNED? WHY NOT!?” WOODSIDE AND LAW FOUND AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND REFUGE IN THE UK WHERE THEY WERE CONTACTED BY WELL ESTABLISHED GUITARIST JAMES WILLIAMS, WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN ON MANY EUROPEAN TOURS HIMSELF. WITH IN MONTHS THEY HAD WRITTEN THE FIRST OFFICIAL EP. NOTHING CAME OF THIS EP THOUGH AS IT WAS SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM. LATER, THEY AUDITIONED MANY BASSISTS AROUND BRISTOL, FINDING JAKE BRIGHT, A COLLEAGUE TO FACTORY STUDIOS. WITH A BORN TALENT FOR COMPOSITION, BUT HOLDING SOME OF THE BEST BASS RIFFS KNOWN TO THE SOUTH WEST, JAKE COMPLETED THE FINAL SET UP. THEY SET OUT TO GIG. THEIR FIRST SHOW SUPPORTING THE BRIDGES PULLED IN 40 PEOPLE AT THE CROFT, NEXT THEY FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE LOUISIANA HEADLINING, FOLLOWING MORE SHOWS AROUND THE SOUTH & TRULY MAKING A NAME FOR THEMSELVES. SOON, THE ADS SOUND CLOUD HAD TAKEN OFF. REACHING OVER 4,000 FOLLOWERS AND CLOSE TO 20,000 PLAYS – THE SOCIAL MEDIA ASPECT OF THE BAND WAS LOOKING GOOD. COMMENTS STRETCHED AS FAR AS, “NEXT FOO FIGHTERS”/”GRUNGE ISN’T DEAD”/”THIS TUNE IS SO MEATY I HAVE CHOLESTEROL PROBLEMS!” THINGS BEGAN TO LOOK POSITIVE. ONE DAY, AFTER A TERRIBLE PRACTICE THE GUYS FOUND PEACE AS MUSICIANS WHEN THEY JAMMED AND WROTE A SONG IN TWO ATTEMPTS, NOW COMMONLY KNOWN AS MONSTER! THIS TRACK WAS RECORDED AT FACTORY AND PLACED ONTO YOUTUBE, RECEIVING 5000 PLAYS IN A MATTER OF DAYS! THE BAND FELL IN LOVE WITH SUCCESS, THUS, MAKE LOUD SEXY WAS BORN. THE TITLE INSISTS THE CHARACTER OF THE BAND, THE DRINKING; THE SEX, THE LAUGHS AND THE VOLUME ADS ARE KNOWN FOR. THIS EP WAS RECORDED 100% LIVE AT FACTORY STUDIOS AND FOUND ITSELF SOUNDING JUST LIKE THE BAND DOES. AFTER A RELEASE IN THE SUMMER OF 2013, MAKE LOUD SEXY WAS ON ITS WAY TO BECOMING SOMETHING SPECIAL. THIS RESULTED IN THEM ACHIEVING A HEADLINING SHOW AT THE WORLD FAMOUS 100CLUB IN LONDON. 300 PEOPLE ATTENDED THIS SHOW AND IT WAS TRULY SPECIAL. ALREADY CONTACTS FROM A TEXAS RADIO STATION WANT IN; AUSTRALIA ARE INTERESTED, GERMANY, BELGIUM, CANADA AND NOW NEW ZEALAND WANT THEM BACK. THIS BAND CLASSIFIES PURE ROCK, WITH A TRUE SOUND AND AN EPIC WALL OF VOLUME LIVE THAT HAS BEEN LOST SINCE THE 90’S.YOU WILL FIND; THERE IS NOTHING DOUBTFUL ABOUT THIS SOUND "If you chucked Nirvana into QOTSA's den in the desert..."
