Ché are a female fronted band doing something just a bit different from the norm. Their aim is to show that gimmick free female fronted rock music is not an alien concept. Front woman, Lydia is the tender age of 16, and I feel that she has a lot left to learn before she fully reaches her potential, however she seems to have one foot in the door and with a bit more experience she would ripen in to a fine young vocalist. It definitely sounds like she has what it takes and there is more to come from her so I’ll just have to keep my eye on this band as I am sure that this will not be the last we hear of them.
As a band, Ché are musically tight – with rocking guitar riffs, demon drumming, and powerful bass lines. They just don’t seem to step a foot wrong and on all three of these tracks the musical ability is just subliminal. There is just so much power to the music, and I don’t think that Lydia has quite found that power that is needed to drive this band yet. She is definitely getting there, and on second and third tracks where the male backing vocals come in to play more, the sound is a lot more powerful and really suits the music better. I love the collaboration of male and female vocals on track 2, ‘Awaiting Your Orders,’ it really seems to work and has been pulled off well by the band here. Track 2 is probably my favourite track, and purely because of the way the male and female vocals seem to work together making truly exciting music. The contrast is truly amazing and is pulled off with perfection.
I can definitely see this band going a long way as there are definitely hints of genius in the music, its just that I don’t think that Lydia has quite reached her full potential. The instrumental background is perfect – I can’t find a single point on this single where it is at all at fault, so once the vocals are at their best then I really think that the band will be one of the most exciting bands in the UK. There is definitely a lot of energy in the music of Ché and the talent is quite clearly there. The best is definitely yet to come with this band, and I can’t wait to see them gradually develop and mature overtime and make a name for themselves.
