BEAUTIFUL VELOCITY - MISS BLACK AMERICA (single) In a world where apathetic and, let's face it downright shite nu-metal/skate
punk bands seem to be popping up around the globe like vermin, one of
the greatest mysteries of the modern music world is the fact that Miss
Black America aren't massive. Along with Mansun and the Manics before
them, MBA actually mean something. Not only do they sound great, combining
futuristic punk with great melody, but frontman Seymour Glass is fast
becoming an alternative spokesperson for a generation. Beautiful Velocity,
lyrically inspired by the work of war photographer and model Lee Miller
and her ability to stimulate hope even in the midst of horrors such
as the holocaust, rattles along at a brisk pace, but still manages to
retain its emotional impact. The best thing Glass & co. have done
in long time.
