Neck

Uncrated Distant Star (Teenage USA)
by Tim Den

Not to be confused with the New York band of the same name (a schizophrenic hybrid of Faith No More and V.O.D.), this Neck plays indie rock not unlike every other band in the genre. Gawky vocals sung with just enough cracking and off-keyness to satisfy the emo kids, and just enough dissonant guitar chords to attract fans of Sonic Youth. I guess you can say there’s not much strikingly different at work here; just stuff that fans of this kind of music will enjoy.
