FOCUS: THE CREATURES
I really appreciate bands such as The Creatures who promote
their identity as a full package: excellent audio production, dazzling
visuals and performances, wonderful conceptual videos.
The Creatures also took an interesting twist on the themes of their
songs, with titles like "Believe in Yourself" and "Maybe Some Day" that
oozed with positivity and uplifting energy. This look and feel is
characteristic of many italo disco bands at the time (and one of my
favorite things about the genre), promoting messages of dream-searching
and ecstatic love-dwelling -- themes that our modern Western world might
quickly shun as "cliche" and "cheesy" (until it becomes hot again, ha).
Regardless, LONG LIVE THE CREATURES AND LONG LIVE ITALO.
