ENGU bring some much needed hard rock and a little head banging back around these parts with their single “Gimmick.”  Sometimes too much alternative and indie music will make your brain soft. ENGU give us that kick in the pants. Yes the song sounds kind of like “Beautiful People” by Marlyn Manson in structure and the lead singer kind of sounds like MM sans-make up. That’s actually kind of cool IMHO.

Why should you like this?

Shirtless drummer is like Tommy Lee 2.o, this guy is smashing.

Rocking out in warehouses is always fine by me.

Lead singer wears a derby hat.

Red light bars usually insinuate strip club activity.

You also get an excuse to turn your speakers up! C’mon rock out with ENGU. They might just become a guilty pleasure. “Gimmick” is off of their mini-album Night Fiction out 10.6.2010. Preorder from yesasia.com right now.
