Caephilly based four-piece SOUNDSTORM bring an eclectic collection of rock and blues sounds to Nothing In Black And White. In My Genes kicks off with epic guitar riffs and rousing drums, setting a dramatic and energetic tone for tracks such as Not So Sure About Him and Wasp (On The Wall). The Book Of Love has a more reflective edge, with brooding guitar playing and introspective lyrics. Title track Nothing In Black And White is a more subdued, soft-rock affair, but still retains the stylistic elements of other tracks. Overall, the album is powerful, edgy and musically sound with great arrangements and lyrical prowess. SOUNDSTORM don't really offer anything new to the genres in which they place themselves, but this is not to say that what they do produce isn't of a high quality and delivered with passion and dedication. All in all, this is an admirable collection of tracks.
London Cafe: the best of UK indie!
Nothing in Black and White is the debut album from Cardiff's four piece SOUNDSTORM. While listening to the album you can definitely think of the 80s. Inspired by various post-punk, new wave/new romantic bands (Stranglers, Josef K, Duran Duran, New Order…) , they offered creative soundscapes, well-worked melodies and strong riffs. One word to describe this album: Powerful!



SOUNDSTORM, a four-piece rock band from the Caerphilly area of South Wales.

SOUNDSTORM continue to write in their own vein of music, refusing to jump on the band wagon that exists in British music, they stick to their working ethic of writing creative progressive pop rock songs. All with the popular theme of the anthemic chorus The music, stretching across eras, generations and genres.
