Wonderfully dissonant wall of sound guitars & atmospherics, over driving tom-tom beats, with dark, angsty vocals. In the spirit of early Sonic Youth, these guys are able to walk the line between dissonant chaos and melody pretty well. Also reminded me a little of the Dead C and a more experimental/angsty My Boody Valentine.
**FCC ON TRACK 5**

1) Instrumental - Opens with distorted guitar over ambient organs, beat kicks in at about 1:40 mark and then fades out
*2) Great wall of sound guitars, nice pounding tom-tom beat, dark vocals, reminds me a little of early raw sonic youth
*3) Opens with a minute or so of menacing feedback, builds with tom-tom beat & angsty vocals
*4) surf-style guitar riff, over dissonant guitars bleeds into next track
5) FCC “So Fucking High Right Now…” Experimental atmospheric feedback, spoken vocals.
6) On the more experimental end of the spectrum…opens with really nice washes of distorted and dissonant guitar drums kick in around 3 mins
**7) Lo-fi vocals, dissonant guitar / bass, that develops into really nice noisy dissonant rock
8) Great dissonant, atmospheric guitars, female and male vocal harmonizations, builds menacingly
9) nothing
10) More relaxed/ low-key feel
