On their debut EP, 
Tweak Bird seem to be saying that they're not a band to be bound by any rules -- no problem there -- but apparently aren't sure about what rules of their own they want to follow. The end result is somewhere between interesting and a bit off, as the duo veers between skronky elfin singing on the somewhat groaningly titled "Whorses" and the 
Jesus and Mary Chain-meets-power pop AOR of "Shivers" (not a 
Birthday Party/
Boys Next Door cover, but maybe not that removed from it either). Things get a little more stable -- and better all around -- as things progress, with the two strongest numbers being "Spaceships," a slow and soulful piece that also feels very Germany 1973 somehow, and the none-more-metal conclusion of "Eternal Squaredance." It's all a start but to what end?
