What began as a 7″ split with Dropkick Murphys and The Business playing each others’ songs, turned into this 12-song, 29-minute EP with some extra covers.
Guitarist Greg Brown and bassist Victor Damiani of former Cake fame give Deathray a developed, punchy sound that many other “alternative” bands today lack.
Waters must’ve read some books on directing because Demented is the most visually expressive of all his output. It’s like he finally decided to stop hating the camera, or separate the camera from the audience, or something.
THE BEST two-girl-fronted ska/punk band there is. The vocalists are so distinct that when they contribute to a friend’s record, you can totally tell it’s them.
Cooter is yelping melodic punk, and they throw in some nice’n’nasty chords, but they never stray far from the peppy, heartfelt, Bouncing Souls-style vocals.
