Slowride

As I Survive the Suicide Bomber (Deep Elm)
by Tim Den

I was never a Jawbreaker fan. But if Jawbreaker had been more cohesive – like Slowride – I might’ve been persuaded. This Texas three-piece wrangle their instruments like professional cowboys, directing chord changes and arpeggios like seasoned herdsmen. Well-placed instrumental harmonies and a forceful production propel As I Survive the Suicide Bomber into “guided missile” form, aimed straight for your adrenalin gland and your sweet tooth.
