Grade, in all of its predictable sing-scream/loud-soft/we-can’t-play-anything-other-than-emo-chords, has opened up its high school photo album for all to see.
Florida’s Gotohells rock with their balls out, slapping you in the face if you get too close. Rock-hard-die-messy anthems ya “sing” while staggering wildly.
Electric Bible plus a Five Fingers… track, two unreleased tracks from the Laced Candy sessions, and a souped-up cover of Elvis Costello’s “Lipstick Vogue.”
Every song seems to burst with wall-of-guitars, yet the lo-fi (roughly recorded and sung with wild abandon) vocal melodies beneath make it all seem accessible.
The music alone makes this big sucka worth it though, a bunch of rare albums presented in quite good remaster quality. And the man’s voice… Geez, it rules.
