Decidedly Different
The Dresden Dolls have risen from the unknown to become the kind of hip, trendy band that is on everyone's lips at the moment. Featuring just a pianist and a drummer in the form of Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglioine, the band is decidedly different from anything else out at the moment.
'Backstabber', the second single from their second album 'Yes, Virginia..' is a catchy sing-a-long slab of good old fashioned, unclassifiable music. You can't call it rock, punk, caberet... it's simply good music performed and written by two highly talented, passionate individuals that you can't help but enjoy.
Amanda Palmer has a distinctive voice, lower than most female singers around at the moment, but still deliciously capable of capturing your heart. Witty lyrics, fantastic live shows and a great deal of interaction with their fans means that The Dresden Dolls really are on the rise and are going to continue to do well. Their music can be related to by people of all walks of life and their albums reflect this, with catchier songs such as 'Backstabber' and many quieter, touching songs to reflect upon, The Dresden Dolls really will capture your heart sooner or later!
