Review by Rhinocerus Org

Alright, let’s dive into Seubles And Mushes EP by Driven, The. Released in '96 under Polydor, this UK alt-rock gem kinda sneaks up on you with its raw energy and unpolished charm. It's not perfect—far from it—but that’s part of what makes it stick. First off, there’s “Speed.” Man, this track just hits different. It’s got this driving rhythm (pun totally intended) that grabs hold of you right away. The guitars are crunchy but not overly flashy, leaving room for the vocals to shine through. What really gets me is how simple yet effective the chorus is—it’s one of those tunes where you find yourself humming along even after just one listen. You don’t need a ton of layers or fancy production tricks when the core idea is strong enough, y'know? Feels like they knew exactly what they were doing here without overthinking it. Then there’s “Can’t Get My Head.” This one feels more chaotic, like someone trying to untangle their brain mid-song. There’s an urgency to the delivery that makes it feel super personal, almost like you’re overhearing someone vent about life falling apart. The lyrics aren’t groundbreaking poetry or anything, but they hit hard because they’re relatable as hell. Plus, the way the instrumentation builds tension before exploding into that final riff? Damn satisfying. The rest of the EP—“Bonehead” and “The Strangler”—are solid too, though they didn’t leave as big a mark on me. They’ve got that same gritty vibe, but sometimes simplicity works better than cramming in too much stuff. These songs feel like snapshots of a band figuring themselves out rather than aiming for perfection. Honestly, I dig that about them. Looking back, Seubles And Mushes might not be some legendary masterpiece, but it’s got character. Like, imagine finding an old mixtape at a garage sale—it’s scratched up, maybe a little forgotten, but once you press play, you realize why someone cared enough to make it in the first place. Weird thing is, listening to this now kinda reminds me of those random moments in life we overlook until later. Like spilled coffee or missed buses—they end up meaning more than we think at the time. Who woulda thought a scrappy little rock EP could do that?
