Wow folks. I have never read such a misleading one sheet. They describe themselves as rock 'n roll and I just wasn't hearing it. These guys are like a cranked up truck driver barrelling along on a suicide mission. Not too concerned with what gets hit or the end result he's just fuckin' sloppy, sweaty, and ready for it to be over. Yea, so let's break this fuggin thing down and get to the facts.

What we have here is, in fact, a more clean-toned version of bands like the UNSANE that you would expect if Amphetamine Reptile was still around. I'm sure Reptilian records would have a fucking hard-on for these boys as they hit on at least one point similar to each of the bands on that label's roster. Repetitive riffing? Check. Vocalist with high-pitched vocals who can't seem to sing in time? Check. Paige Hamilton-styled riffing joined with UNSANE punchy time signatures? Check. This wouldn't be bad but it kinda is. And it all started with that one sheet.

If they got some gut-wrenching fuzz ala Iommi outta those amps, either distorted the vocals or got the guy to stay in time with the tunes in a less grating way, and didn't draw out some of the songs with filler this would be good and recommendable to people who like bands like CUTTHROATS 9 and all the (insert band from Am Rep) bands out there.

The one sheet is misleading. They refer to themselves as a "rock n roll phenomenon" and I was stoked. I was hoping for either some high motherfuckin energy rock 'n roll motor town style or even some down south twangin' swamp blues based rock with some Angus Young-boogie thrown in for good measure. Basically I was hoping for anything other than math grunge. They also have a listing of former bands i've never heard of. My band was actually going to do that but only if we could leave out all the current bands and all the popular formers and just list bands that either never played out or only did so once. If they find a way to add some spice to the mix this shit could be potent but lose the lame one sheet, quit using words like "dangerous" to describe it. (Wanna see dangerous? Last summer I broke 4 chairs, two tables and 12 bottles after letting people hit a beer filled pinata and before I lit off fireworks in the bar all while in a drug and alcohol blackout. Now that's dangerous rock 'n roll even if it is more hardcore punk or whatever.)

If people don't back up before you strike a note save the "dangerous" schtick. The bowl is cashed and so am I.
