Editorial Reviews

Emma Johnston - Melody Maker - London
...the band though, are a decidedly amiable bunch. Their tight harmonies and upbeat melodies during "Peep show" and "5 O'clock Angel" give the impression of being a kind of dodgy that you don't want to punch in the mouth...

Product Description
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock'n'roll. Indeed. But for Cardiff band The Scooters - it's where they're heading. Touted as the finest unsigned band in Wales, the band have a busy time ahead. With the launch of their debut album - Peep Show, and their brand new video, The Scooters feel that finally- this is their time.

Formed four years ago in Cardiff, The Scooters have built a reputation as a must see live act. Brimming with boundless energy, melodies to weep for and a dedication to their craft that leaves many gasping, their live act leaves you humming their songs as if they were your favorites. See them once, and you'll wonder how you survived without them.

The album is sure to raise some eye-brows, it's a self-financed project - another mark of the bands dedication to their own cause. And its infectious stuff, In a world, where angst and misery seem to dominate - its refreshing to find a band with a lighter touch and an ear for tune. The eight self-penned songs (and a couple of hidden surprises) are the sound of a band confident in what they're doing, and aiming high. There's a hint of Californian sunshine mixed with some Cardiff rain, but this is unmistakably The Scooters. The songs fill any stage - colorful observations, and an ease of musicianship - all part of the Scooters experience.

3 out of 5 stars Medieval Pop.......2007-06-24

As good as it is in places, Peepshow has it's flaws. Some of the songs are fine but other songs fail to convince. The single "Peek-a-Boo" will probably win over mainstream audiences, but is out of place among the rest of the album. "The Killing Jar" is an eccentric stab at mainstream and "Ornaments of Gold" recites portions of the Koran.

"Scarecrow", "Carousel" and "Rawhead & Bloodybones" conjure up childish nightmares, making a large portion of the album sounding very Dungeons & Dragons, but songs like "The Last Beat of My Heart" which shows a stripped down vulnerability set to a death march and "Turn to Stone" with it's flamenco guitar and gothic harmonies are on par with some of the Banshees best work. Not the Banshees finest hour, but worth making a part of your CD collection.

5 out of 5 stars Stands the test of time.......2007-03-23

I'm not the most qualified Siouxsie head out there, having only turned on to them with Hyaena, but this is an incredible piece of music. I don't want to label it with goth or synth pop or whatever, because it doesn't do the album justice. Suffice it to say that this has some of the most memorable, tight, and powerful songs I've ever heard. Each one is a well crafted jewel with piercing sounds, haunting melodies, and Siouxsie's unique brand of vocals; breathy, snarling, foreboding, sexy, dreamy, and always hypnotic. There are mental images, ala Pink Floyd, that come with each song, as if each is a movie soundtrack unto itself. Music that conjures up visual images is a rare find and this album has them from start to finish. I have listened to this countless times for decades now and I still enjoy the hell out of it. It doesn't get old and it does not have the dated quality of much that surfaced in the 80s. It has been called one of the more approachable records by this unusual and sadly underrecognized band, but know that there is much to like for any fan of good melody, keen lyrics, and well produced musical vignettes.

4 out of 5 stars Quite a Trip..........2007-03-11

Siouxsie and the Banshees considered this album their all time masterpiece when it came out. Even though I disagree (I think that 1982's "A Kiss in the Dreamhouse" is their best), "Peepshow" is still a huge, diverse adventure. The album kicks off with "Peek-a-Boo", a bizarre but strangely addictive pop song with a cut 'n' paste feel and an accordion. The other single, "The Killing Jar", is an energetic, strings-laced gothic rock track. The album tracks are also worth mentioning: "Burn Up" is a twisted, sinister country-western style song, "Turn To Stone" has tasty studio touches and hints of flamenco, and "Scarecrow" is a moody song that starts off quiet and then explodes with its dramatic chorus. But the best song on the entire album is the athemnic, percussion driven "The Last Beat of my Heart". The song is so good because it is, unlike most of the songs here, stripped-down and spare. Siouxsie Sioux, normally a loud, strident singer, has found a sense of restraint and control in her voice, making the song a haunting experience. The only drawback for me is "Rhapsody", a lush, ornate song that is ruined by Sioux trying on an operatic voice, which just turns out to be abrasive. All in all, "Peepshow" is an unusual, surreal experience. Trust me, you'll like it.

5 out of 5 stars The Banshees' Masterwork.......2006-04-30

This album sounds like it came out of a twisted alternate-reality world. It is one of the best albums I have ever heard. Credit goes to Siouxsie Sioux for providing her absolutely unearthly vocals and her excellent band. "Peek-A-Boo" is an extremely eccentric hip-hopesque track, even though it dosen't exactly fit in with the rest of the songs on the album. "The Killing Jar" suffers a bit from coming after "Peek-A-Boo", but it is an excellently dramatic song. The exceptional "Scarecrow" has an almost animalistic quality to it. "Carousel" sounds like a slightly psychotic version of the the theme park ride it refers to. "Burn-Up", one of the best songs on the album, sounds like a warped country line dance song. The shiniest song on the album is definetley "Ornaments of Gold". The song is about someone who is more comfortable with riches than the outside world. "Turn to Stone" has an eerie gothic quality to it, with the brilliantly used Latin gutair a pefect foil for it. "Rawhead and Bloody Bones" is the most nightmarish song I have ever heard. "The Last Beat Of My Heart" is an pure, unaldulterated love sng, and it is absolutely lovely. "Rhapsody" is the Banshees at their most dramatic, and it closes the album with a bang. This album is what really brought this band to prominence, and it is their best work ever

4 out of 5 stars My favorite........2006-02-14

I guess because of my age I didn't get into Siouxsie And The Banshees until the late 80's, but I remember getting this and the first Sugarcubes album on the same day, and I've loved "Peepshow" ever since. I'll admit this isn't anything close to punk as some of their earlier stuff is, but I find it a really pleasant mix of goth and pop, that makes it both creepy and catchy. A few of the tracks are similar to the hit "Peek-A-Boo", but much of the rest here is more moody. I believe "The Killing Jar" was a minor hit also, and I like that, but I really love the songs like "Carousel" and "The Last Beat Of My Heart" even more. Overall I'd say that if you like "Through The Looking Glass" or "Superstition", you'll like this. What a voice.

I was chatting with a friend one night and she found this band. The site she found the CD at had samples of the some of the songs. I had a listen, and totally fell in love with their sound. In a way, their music can be compared to the earlier albums of the Beatles - both have that bouncy, good feeling type energy. The CD also includes 2 extra tracks.... you'll have to buy the CD to find out what they are ;)

          Album Description

          This CD is full of great songs with unbelievable hooks. These songs are smartly crafted. Produced by Scott Olson (whose work includes Heart, Deftones, Alice In Chains)in Seattle, the songs are sing-a-longs and love songs, anthems and ballads, led by the song "Train". "Train" is one of those songs that all listeners immediately connect with. The striking hooks of "tattoo" and the title track "Guilty Pleasure" capture you from the start. Keep your eyes on these guys, they may very well be Seattle's next big thing.

          I love these guys. They're like a breath of fresh air in a world where rock music sounds more and more like it's all being made by the same 2 or 3 musicians. The songs are original and heartfelt, the band is full of amazing talent ... I can put this album in my cd player and just let it run over and over again without getting tired of it. Get this album while they're still relatively unknown, because they're on their way straight up.

          5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2002-11-17

          This is an excellent cd. Peepshow is an up and coming band from Seattle, and this cd is proof that they will go far in the music industry. Would recommend it to everyone.
