SNAKEHOUSE - THE CLIKS
Viewers of “The L Word” are aware of Canadian trio the Cliks, whose ferocious “Complicated” was recently featured in an episode of the Showtime TV show. These days the video for the amped-up, angst-filled love song “Oh Yeah” is a mainstay on the Logo network. Sure, the Cliks are being championed by the gay and lesbian community, but don’t be surprised when they cross over into other communities. Obviously influenced by the Pretenders, Hole and Pink, the Cliks create music that rocks hard, with melodies and hooks that linger long after the last note has played. Here, the band cleverly reworks Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River” into a reggae-splashed rock jam. And throughout “Snakehouse,” emotions run deep. Billboard
