Rated Flashback - A Strange Education.

The Cinematics debut album A Strange Education is a glorious venture into contemporary rock music. With brilliantly written and produced tracks like ‘Break’, ‘Keep Forgetting’ and ‘Human’, the band should have been propelled into the higher echelons with the likes of Kings of Leon. Though they aren’t stadium rockers, the band has achieved much. A key example being their performance on American talk show ‘Jimmy Kimmel’, a show that has hosted performances from superstars like Eminem and Lady GaGa. 
The highlight from their debut outing is the exhilarating ‘A Strange Education’, a song that takes epic moments from other bands and stomps all over them like CoCo Chanel stabbing her 6” heel into a Primark Ugg. Sounding a bit like a less gritty Paul Banks (Interpol), lead singer Scott Rinning’s stunning voice glides through with ease. With its immense vocals, huge chorus, and intense build up, this is a song that needs to be heard by everyone. 
5/5
