Loud and screamy, but still tuneful (usually) screamo/destructo rock. Played with Engine Down, Hot Cross, Alabama Thunderpussy, and These Arms Are Snakes.
The sticker on the cover warned me, but I checked out the hip-hop side project of Coheed and Cambria drummer Josh Eppard anyway. It’s as awful as it sounds.
New Drive-Thru, er, Rushmore Records band. No better, no worse than any of their other bands, who all sound exactly the same, but some are cuter than others.
A nice palette cleaner. Chiming guitars, ’70s power pop. Not a bad song here, perhaps also nothing to sing in the shower either, but a consistently good CD.
Trebly, jerk punk, got spy influence, Dead Kennedys’ guitar spasm, and vocals that howl and distort like they’re overloading the mic (or going thru a bullhorn).
I have their self-titled release memorized. This one leaves me a bit cold. The singer sings more, and his clean vocals were the weakest part of the last one.
First full-length from this South Jersey band. Produced by a guy who’s worked with Atreyu, Hatebreed, and Mastodon. Metalcore with doubled clean vocals.
Detroit take on European metal like Soilwork, In Flames, et all. Not hugely memorable guitarwork, hardcore roar and harmonied clean vocals, and keyboard.
