BIGJupiter & The Infinite are apparently “…generating attention as the most exciting rock band on the Irish music scene today”, a bold claim by any bunch of musicians plying their trade on this fair isle. They released ‘Control Room’ in 2012, their debut EP or album, depending on which of their band pages you read. That eight track release has been followed up by this latest EP, ‘Diamond Chandeliers’, and the band’s six-piece multi-national line-up certainly goes some way to explaining the diversity in its five tracks.

The trouble is ‘Diamond Chandeliers’ simply hasn’t a clue what it is. Moving from the title track’s retro affectations of Liverpool’s most famous sons , into country blues, Latin funk blues, reggae blues and Eighties poodle rock, it comes across as an audition for a pub band – ‘we cater to everyone in an inoffensive manner’. Diamond Chandeliers is the most promising track, a playful run through with hints of a Spanish guitar flourish; unfortunately it unravels from this point onward.

Honky Tonk recalls The Black Crowes, and if you’re familiar with the Santana & Rob Thomas Smooth collaboration then you know what to expect from Mariana. It’s oh so smooth, oh so cheesy (“My baby Mariana/ Just like a movie star”) and laid on thick. War is a protest song, a mixture of cod reggae and blues where the guitar whas and wails behind some trite lyrics about socio-political war, “The AIB, The TSB/ Whatever/ Are tearing down this house of cards/ Whatever

On a bizarre final note, Whose Life Is It Anyway turns the tables on the rest, a fast hair metal-esque rocker. Hats off to them for that one, there aren’t many folk trying to get away with this these days. “With all respect to everything that’s gone before us, we want to write the greatest album of all time” reads one quote from the band online. They may well do it. On the basis of this, not likely, but stranger things have happened.
