Live review taken from Unpeeled series 4 #4
First on a bizarrely curated bill, We Can Build You came as something of a surprise, cos I've never enjoyed a shite band quite so much. It's difficult to tell if any of them can play their instruments AT ALL, but as soon as they can write some songs it won't matter. They're all different sizes, which is funny, and they're all a bit nervous, which is always unsettling. Sounding like the more abstract elements of Truman's Water played at polite volume underneath a slowed-down Catatonia record underwater with a small dog yelping at inappropriate moments, they have the potential to be THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD. Or one of the lamest, depending who's in charge(is it the little nervous chap with the fucked guitar or the attractive lady singer? I know where I'd vote, but it's none of my business). One of the songs had screaming in it, and another nearly had a chorus. They even got to play an encore, which consisted of something they hadn't even written yet. Then the war started.
