Full Length Review: The Fair Sex "Thin Walls Part I" (Endless Records) by Daniel Ryan

Band: The Fair Sex
Location: Essen
Country: Germany
Genre: Industrial
Full length: Thin Walls Part I
Format: Digital
Label: Endless Records
Release date: June 6, 2003
This band from Essen, Germany has left a mark on me for some time. Being one of my favorite industrial groups next to Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails and Ministry. They have an overwhelming power about them that lets you know that something’s that sound impossible are possible and leave you wanting more. The band is fairly obscure and is a well kept secret from the dredges of Essen and continue to maintain a hidden aura about them that is unmatched anywhere else. I have 2 of their cds and a-lot of their stuff is tongue in cheek and flows well within their beats and guitar playing. The band tends to lean towards clean vocals with an anguish about them that lets you pick apart what each one means. If one band like this can be so in the dark and mysterious then it has to have some essential elements about it that they provide for the listener. Ones that go beyond most bands and leaves them wondering if they could make such dynamics to their own. Overall I have to say my favorite track is The Ever Unreached Aim, and the rest are very well done too.
If you want something dark, beat oriented, and has a real grim dreading feel behind it all like a Too Dark Park would leave behind then go here to check it all out! –Daniel Ryan
