Poppy punk stuff from a local trio, jangly rocking stuff, kind of "alternative" radio-friendly. Decently literate lyrics that show more than a little hip-hop influence, both in the rhyming and the cadence. Good stuff; more serious than goofing-off. Debut recording from a local band. "Raised By Robots will crush your city," it says on the CD package. Bummer. The band is the brainchild of Cameron Spies (guitar, vocs) and Mike Rieger (drums), a couple of SF landscape architects. Their bassist, Ohm Mega One, is a chemical engineer. All songs fast or at least a little bit fast, unless noted. There are FCCs. 1- *FCC* Poppy sound; serious mood. Good song. Sudden ending. 2- Another serious one; a fast, pipping sound. Bursts open for an insanely fast lyrics break. 3- Hard-driven, fast 4- *FCC* Fast and choppy 5- Jangling gloom. Darkly intense later. 6- Snide-toned guitars; midtempo powerpop sound 7- *FCC* Slowish swaying feel, loud gutsy singing 8- Cool pattering feel with a chiming bell sound. Mid/fast; references Hungry Hungry Hippos 9- Nifty guitar jangle. Tough, scratchy sound. 10- *FCC* Heavy, hazy guitars. Spoken word start. 11- Fairly fast, morose sound. 12- *FCC* Quiet and acoustic, slowish | ||
