Bergkamp Reviews
Modo atual:

com frio

Blissful indie rock from the days of grubby corderoy trousers and ripped cure posters: epic yet humble in its sound. The Guildean Gang are the kind of guys you want round after school for orange sqash and a round of mario kart.

Artrocker Magazine, Febuary 2009
Jessica Hazal

This single is as coarse around the edges as you can cope with, but
in all true alt-pop style you image that’s just what Bedfordshire lot
Guildean Gang are after with this blinder of a debut release.

The slightly oddball, dark pop vocal has a White Lies atmosphere
and the overall epicness of the tune relates very indistinctly to
Glasvegas, but in truth this isn’t something that the NME teenybopper
crowd are really going to get. The reference points are too obscure,
vague even, from Gang of Four and Sonic Youth to ‘The Top’ era Cure,
the influences are as marvelously hijacked as they are inventively
persuaded into this very modern sounding rock track. There’s no waving
towards 80’s hair-dos or Korgs, no messing around with nostalgia –
whatever such magic it hints at is purely natural - and no trying to be
fashionable. This is simple, nihilistic pop. About time too.

If Dennis Bergkamp came from Bedfordshire rather than Amsterdam, would
he have sounded like this? Probably not, but he’d most probably be
flattered by this four piece’s tribute to him. Quite what the song
actually has to do with the former Dutch striker is anybody’s guess -
the lyrics, as far as we can make them out, seem more about girls and
relationships than soccer - but that’s probably the point.

Full of swirling, stabbing guitars that falls somewhere between The
Cure and The Pixies on a particularly dark day, it’s a deliberately
dishevelled song that wears its influences proudly but doesn’t shove
them too far down your throat. In fact, it harks back to a time when
British guitar music seemed more honest and less affected than it
occasionally can be now. Which, given that this is their debut single,
is a good place for them to start. Raw and raucous and full of nervous
energy, Dennis Bergkamp may not be an accurate portrayal of star it’s named after, but it’s definitely goal-bound.

Guildean Gang are definitely
one of the most exciting bands i’ve come across in the last few months,
they seem to be creating a bit of a buzz around this single release and
success doesn’t sound far away.

The single is strangely called Dennis Bergkamp
although listening to the lyrics this seems more in tribute to a great
footballer than the song resembling anything to do with him. It’s a
dark track that has edges everywhere you turn, plenty to keep you
interested and a tense feeling that never quite breaks out but suggests
it could at any point.

A really good release and definitely worth having on your radar. The single is out 2nd February on l,imited vinyl and download. 
The Beat Surrender
http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/dennis-bergkamp-guildean-gang/

Much
like the name suggests, this is a mercurial, clinical and classy piece
of skill from a bunch of young skallywags. Unlike the non-flying
Dutchman however, Guildean Gang take inspiration from Sonic Youth, The
Cure and other eighties luminaries. ....
A
big, cacophonous soundscape of a chorus is a pleasant surprise as a
vast amount of the track is quite a sombre number. All good, but it
poses the following question - if Dennis Bergkamp had picked up a
guitar for a living and the Gang of Guildean were footballers, would
they end up with the same resulting successes as one another?
