Rubicks
Genre: Alternative / New Wave / Electronica
From: London, United Kingdom
London electro band Rubicks seem to have been the next big thing for the last six years and, despite critical acclaim for their debut album ‘In Miniature’ they’ve, somewhat surprisingly, not yet hit the big time while young, and less talented, upstarts like The Ting Tings have had the cash registers ringing.
With a sound akin to Ladytron with a Blondie chaser, or maybe the Primitives with the electro dial set to maximum, they have every box ticked. Stunningly attractive lead singer blessed with magnetic star quality, tick. Debut album showered with critical acclaim by the blogosphere and the inkies, tick. The perfect modern blend of electronics and guitar, tick. Appeared with the indie glitterati from the Klaxons to The Duke Spirit to Gary Numan (??), tick. Check out the video for the bands excellent track ‘Midas’ which should be the new UK national anthem!
If it’s true that it all comes to he (or she) who waits then global mega stardom is surely just round the corner for Rubicks so get them here before they’re hot.
