Contagion Heuristic

Weird, loose & spastic noise-rock from Pittsburgh. Like a mix of The Locust, Chrome and maybe a guitar/effects box laden version of the Screamers. Features Adam MacGregor (former guitarist of Creation is Crucifixion).


(((1))) Panic button noise annoyance mixed with otherwise solid, jagged, crazed noise rock.
((((2)))) Weirdo-punk like The Screamers
((((3)))) Low-end based with excellent riffage and occasional spontaneous changes.
((((4)))) Slow, strummy but odd spacey “out rock”.
(((5))) Jagged and strangely layered. “Difficult rock music”? Yep that’s it.
((((6)))) A bit more direct and almost “normal” but altogether fun.
(((7))) Fairly heavy with interesting on/off mix of riffs vs. drums.
(((8))) Slow spacey guitar strums and basic drum beats.
(((9))) Catchy riff with paranoid vocals and some interesting electronic parts here & there.
(((10))) Riffy, rockin’ with tons of stop/start and unpredictable throughout. Great guitar sound, too although it loses point for bringing back the annoying siren effect that began the album
