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.
Classic Boston hardcore, for better or worse. Most of the guys are old school, and have been in a number of bands, and other, uh, “groups of angry young men.”
Around for a decade, this is their second effort (had a name change in there), first was released by Noise. This is too mid-tempo warbling prog metal for me.
