1. Client are a futurist British musical group from London, England. They combine Scandinavian airline hostess uniforms with glamour-girl aesthetics and harsh electronics to create a sound reminiscent of early forays into electronic sound manipulation and New Wave. Their uniforms have become their trademark.
The original band members were formerly known only anonymously as Client A and Client B, to the extent that their faces were not shown on any publicity photos; it has since been revealed that they are Kate Holmes, formerly of Frazier Chorus and Technique, and Sarah Blackwood, lead singer of Dubstar. Kate Holmes is married to Alan McGee (founder of Creation Records discoverer of Oasis). In late 2005 new member, Client E, joined the group. This is Emily Mann who was a contestant on the Five TV reality show Make Me A Supermodel, an artist, and an active DJ, usually performing as Emily Strange. Client E left the band in June 2007. In November 2007 Charlotte Hatherley joined the Band as Client C, to fill the vacant role of bassist on their European and Scandinavian tours.
Client was the first act signed to Depeche Mode keyboardist Andy Fletcher's record label, Toast Hawaii/(Mute). They have toured with the likes of Depeche Mode and Erasure and have been described as a combination of "The Pet Shop Boys at their most commercial and The Human League at their most obscure".
Client have collaborated with several high profile musicians and directors. Their video for "Pornography" was directed by French director Jamie Deliessche from video production company Schmooze. It features Carl Barât (formerly of The Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things' on vocals. The song "Down to the Underground" features Pete Doherty, also formerly of The Libertines, now frontman of Babyshambles. The song "Overdrive" features Martin L. Gore of Depeche Mode. The song "Where's the Rock and Roll Gone" features Tim Burgess of The Charlatans. Client has collaborated with Moonbootica and Replica on selected tracks and have done a special duet, "Suicide Sister" with Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb.
It was announced in October 2006 that Client left the Toast Hawaii label. In November 2006, Client signed with Metropolis Records for North America, Noiselab Records for South America, Out of Line for Europe, Subspace Communications in Scandinavia and their own label Loser Friendly in the UK.
They also host the Being Boiled club night in London.
Their third album, Heartland, produced by Youth and Stephen Hague, was released in July 2007 and saw the band licenced through different labels globally. Their final single from Heartland "It's Not Over" was released in October 2007.
On 19 December 2010 it was made official that Sarah Blackwood has left the band to focus on other projects and that Katie will continue the band in a new line-up.
2. Client is an oldschool 1980s hardcore punk/thrash band from Japan.
It's Not Over
Client Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Must be a trick of the light
Don't know wrong from right,
Want it every day and every night
You can't hide
Can't explain, just blame chemistry
On the edge
Fallen from the wasteland
Follow me
It's not over
It's not over
It's not over
It's not over
Lost inside
I'm not afraid of the dark
Worlds collide
Feel every beat of my heart
Follow me
Follow me
Never say no
Just say yes to another excess
Follow me
Follow me
Calling, calling
Can you hear me calling?
Falling, falling
Can you see me falling?
The lyrics of Client's song "It's Not Over" speak to the experience of being caught up in a cyclical pattern of desire, addiction, and escape. The singer is lost outside of themselves, unsure of what is right or wrong, but they want their addiction every day and every night. They can't hide or explain their behavior, instead blaming it on the chemistry between them and their object of desire. They are on the edge, having already fallen from the "wasteland" of their addiction. Despite this, they call for others to follow them and never say no, just say yes to another excess. Ultimately, the song's refrain centers around the idea that it's not over, suggesting that the cycle of addiction may continue indefinitely.

Even if im a metal fan, in some genres, I have to say that there can be pop music like this that I can appreciate totally. And thats part of what I meant.
