'Blinded by you'

One of my favourite bands to date are bringing mayhem to the music scene, and here they are again with something quite remarkable.

The single mix of 'Blinded by you' is a track you just have to love, it really shows their potential and reminds me of a quicker-paced Pet Shop Boys. I like to listen as I write, as I find that words just flow a lot easier, however... Listening to this track has got me absorbed, and I soon find myself distracted by their incredible talent. I remember listening to Tenek some time ago, on what is now the 'so last summer' MySpace. But for all of you that spend your time on Facebook, venture over to MySpace once in a while and you may find what I did; an absolutely sensational band.

'Synchronise' has a relatively slow intro, however it builds like an invincible game of Jenga with an addictive beat. Now, you never thought I'd be comparing a band to Jenga, did you?...

Tenek have pretty much got this genre dead on, they know what works and they know how to experiment to create impressive, professional music. You won't be disappointed. And right from the horse's mouth, "Were going to take you on, so are you feeling strong?"... Well, that's Tenek taking the music scene by a whirlwind if you ask me!

'Blinded by you' (Designed for dancing) is exactly what it says on the tin. I'm thinking smoke machine, I'm thinking full volume, and I'm thinking - an awesome night.

I for one haven't been fortunate enough to experience Tenek at a live gig, although I have some high expectations which I am damn sure they would exceed.

As their third track pumps out my speakers, around six minutes in, I could easily imagine a club full of people stop dancing and begin clapping and singing to "Heartbeat, get down. Heartbeat, down down...". Tenek are like a drug - yet not so expensive and you would definitely remember what happened.

8 out of 10 -
