Acumen Nation mix NIN and PM5K with their Gravity Kills/Stabbing Westward/Frontline Assembly sound, but sprinkle a bit of Crystal Method on the anger stew.
Filled with AC/DC riffs and ZZ Top boogie, Nashville Pussy has the sense to add female group yells into the mix to get the loins thrusting as the head nods.
Meshing together old school punk rock/hardcore with metallic riffs is not as easy as it seems, even though bands like Anthrax and D.R.I. made it look that way.
Intricate, angularly melodic LOUD rock ala Shiner, Someday I, Jawbox, etc. Strings are bent and drums are smashed; musical fists are thrown and poetry is read.
