Reviewed 2005-04-01
Awesome! Striped down balls-out noisy “post-punk” with major agit-punk and hard-core influences. Apocalyptic and militant. Gotta love the raw metal-like drum assaults/sound (Lightning Bolt), the emoting vocals, and neurotically frenetic and dissonant guitar strumming. Keep an ear on the ever changing time signatures. The Ex, Fugazi, Black Flag, Government Issue, the Locust. You get the picture. This shit’s goooood! Mike, Smurph, Bill, Chief, Ragnar… look no further!
Play: 13, 4, 11, 3, 8, 1
1. Punchy-drilling. Stripped down vox. Cool accordion coda.
2. FCC
3. Super fast, assaulting, noisy, agit. The Ex.
4. Listen to these guitars. Wow! Angular.
5. Yeah rock! Fast, dissonant. Awesome counter riffs and space!
6. Long apocalyptic drone-y piece
7. Slow-to-mid tempo smoky indie instrumental. Melancholic and mathy.
8. Jerky. Agit. Hard-core. Balls-out noisy.
9. Stoogesque intro. Dissonant DC punk guit mess. Nice backing vocals at the end.
10. Balls-out guitar-drum assault and dissonant guit solos.
11. Beautiful fluid guitar noise. A perfect blend of chaotic dissonance and rare melody.
12. Drilling bass intro… blasting noisy riffs. Fugazi-like structure and sound.
13. Epic and apocalyptic. Blissful and threatening.
14. Starts slow and then wham! Lots of clean stops. Short guitar riffs are a bliss. Everything else is a sonic chaos.
