Stillsuit – At The Speed of Light – Review

Stillsuit

At The Speed of Light (TVT)
by Tim Creter

Do you ever get in that mood where you need to listen to something hard, but not too heavy? Not Earth Crisis, and not Bad Brains, but something that’s just right? Something that’s heavy in all the right places with great melody? A band that plays the music you wish your band could write? Well, Quicksand is dead, but luckily Stillsuit is very much alive. They have those energetic and influential “post hardcore” stylings that worked for Shift, and they work for them as well. This is a band who’s found that style by perfecting the formula of heaviness and melody. I think it’s something like (h-x)2/m*h=b. It’s probably in my calculus textbook. Anyway, enough math; At the Speed of Light just rocks, so even if you only listen to that clean-cut radio fluff that passes as today’s hard music, try on this suit.
