Cyclefly - Generation Sap (673 words)
But like many others, Cyclefly, a United Nations of sorts in music circles, cannot be dismissed as simply "rock" as there's more going on which borrows from modern technical prowess first noticeable on "Whore," which clocks in fourth, but it's the one before it "Supergod" which puts Cyclefly's advancements in a class all their own.
Obviously Cyclefly are proponents of that oft-ignored logic that classic bands are built not on two or three hit singles and a hit album or two only to be forgotten later but on an entire recording that will stand the test of time and define what a true classic represents.
Cyclefly began in 1995 after Nono, Christian and Jean Michel moved to Cok, a coastal town on the southwest of Ireland, where they caught Declan singing in pubs and were instantly impressed by his onstage charisma and voice.
