They claim to’ve “transcended” Big Beat, the style they helped invent: Layered funk and rock beats, tweaked noise howls, and an overwhelming bass sound.
The Atomic Bitchwax had my immediate attention: They have the best band name; the guitarist is from Monster Magnet; there’s a naked chick on the cover.
Three terrific bands, one small-yet-sweet package. Appleseed Cast reminds everyone that storytelling and conceptual lyric-writing is still a vital art form.
