Rip It Up (Dec 04/Jan 05) - Do You Feel The Cold?’ EP Review (3 Stars)

When I first had a listen to Tourist I really enjoyed the single Do You Feel the Cold? – it had a great rhythm and was really tight. Tourist are a fresh New Zealand band that I have confidence in getting very big because they are so original – it’s not every day you hear a rock band playing with an organ as they do on the track Island Song. The great thing about Tourist is that they are very soft and easy, the type of music you can listen to ANY where, any time. The only down side is that at times it does get a little bit whingy and whiny, but like most great bands they get up and over it quickly and start to focus on the rock n’ roll. Tourist play from the heart, with a passion. The best tracks on this CD would have to be Do You Feel the Cold? And Free Your Mind, because they are the kind of songs you and your mates can listen to and singalong to on rainy days. In the end it’s a great new Kiwi band that I predict will go far.
