Kate Nash - Death Proof

Death Proof marks a new musical style for Kate, experimenting with sounds we haven’t heard from her before. The hammering bass opening to the title track creates the atmosphere for the song, until the familiar sound of Kate’s dulcet tones greets us. As you would expect the lyrics are clever and each song tells a story that is both interesting and entertaining. The heavy bass continues as a theme throughout the next two songs, Fri-end and I want a Boyfriend with a Car, both throw backs to a purer 70s style of playing.

Planting itself firmly in the soil of punk rock, sharing roots with Bristol-based screamers Vice Squad and American pop-punk duo Blondie, this EP grows and flowers into a real punk-era classic. More evidence of Kate’s early rock ‘n’ roll influences arises when she tackles The Kinks 60′s classic All Day and All of the Night, opting to lose Ray Davies’ glam-rock style for a darker, more grungy vocal. Updating the track to match the style of the previous tracks was a risk with such a classic but somehow Kate manages to pull it off, despite the fact that on paper, it shouldn’t work.
