14 Iced Bears - In The Beginning
Review by OLIVA PEDRO
In The Beginning, the debut album by British indie band 14 Iced Bears, is a raw and energetic collection of songs that perfectly captures the spirit of the late 1980s underground music scene. Released in 1988, the album features 12 tracks that combine jangly guitars, catchy melodies, and introspective lyrics to create a sound that is both timeless and of its time.
From the opening track "Train Song" to the closing "Come Get Me", In The Beginning is a showcase of the band's talent for crafting memorable pop songs with a punk edge. Standout tracks include "Come Get Me", with its driving rhythm and infectious chorus, and "Cut", a moody ballad that showcases the band's more introspective side.
One of the album's strengths is the variety of styles and moods on display. From the upbeat "Mother Sleep" to the brooding "Surfacer", In The Beginning keeps the listener engaged with its diverse range of sounds and emotions.
