Eh, more like suck like an early 90s alterna-rock band. Throw in screaming vocals and uninteresting rhythms for a ten track bore-a-thon. Yeah. According to the press sheet, they have "whaling guitars." In my mind, I see Captain Ahab holding his trusty Gibson over his head, poised to harpoon the alabaster beast from the depths. This band also offers a "breath of interest." What the FUCK is that supposed to mean? Jesus ass-lancing Christ, have someone proofread your press sheet. Please login or register to post comments.

Jesse is obviously a douchebag. I'd be interested in how many, if any, probably none ever, decent bands Jesse has ever been in. I am willing to bet absolutely none. I have a pretty good feeling that all Jesse does is sit around and bitch instead of just enjoying. How sad that everything has to have a label. This isn't review it's a reflection of your limited intelligence and verbal aptitude. I think you are full of shit. Hot Like (A) Robot kicks ass. Apparantly you know nothing about music. Maybe you should find a new job. some people in san diego call this band I didn't know your sister could read? Oops, my bad. THIS was the one that got me killer head. THAT one was some random shit that I wrote because I had stayed up for 40 hours straight. Nice job on the research, but I don't understand what my bad poetic abilities have to do with my reviewing of records. Plus, I took that link down like a month ago, so the fact that you still know where it is means that you've been working on doing this for awhile, or you like my page so much that you bookmarked it. score is for the rewier's poetry. how anyone who writes this sort of nonsense can pretend to be a critic is beyond me. I don't understand why people would say this band sucks. I went to their purevolume site to listen and i thought their stuff was pretty good. To me they sound better than most of the bands out right now. I'll listen to this before any shitty mall punk bands or all those crappy screamo bands. The Used, My Chemical Romance, Story of the Year, Taking Back Sunday all sound the same and sound more like nu metal than this band! The moern nü-metal station plays a lot of old alternarock bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam as well. And a lot of bands that try to be Nirvana. So that's what that was about. And although this band isn't any good, they don't really sound like what you described at all. Not only that, but your two comparissons contradict each other. A cut-rate Nirvana, yet they would blend right in with modern nu-metal? I'm confused on how that works... especially since they sound like neither. I think it was a very poor decission on pn.org's part to make Jesse a staff writer. Just because he curses and occasionally strings together a chuckle worthy sentence does not make him a good writer. He does not walk the fine line between amusing and insightful... he just wastes our time with childish, South Park-eque wankery. My best friend gave me a copy of this band's EP. Absolutely horrible, I'm ashamed to own it. I can't imagine how horrible a full length is. i don't know about their music but that is (a) terrible fucking band name yes well fuck, i'm 22. should i leave? Oh no! 19! I'm too young to know music! I'm too young to appreciate music! Somebody help me! Don't take this kid too serious. How old is he? I'd say..... 19.. Whats your band sound like? why are there parentheses around the A? that gets a 1. " Yeah. According to the press sheet, they have "whaling guitars." In my mind, I see Captain Ahab holding his trusty Gibson over his head, poised to harpoon the alabaster beast from the depths. " Oh my goodness! 5 YEARS! AND FRANK BLACK! I Should change my opinion. Now I love this band! Having seen this band live in San Diego a few times I can honestly say that this reviewer is completely missing what this band is all about. The label/distributor puts bios together to sell records and give people a reason to check something out but this band definitely rocks live and on cd. They're the real deal and have been in the underground San Diego scene for 5 years! Even Frank Black who hosted a show on 94.9 (an indie station in sd) played their songs and said they were his favorite up and coming band. so take the wax out of your ears and give it another listen! This band rocks! a wack review. and you obviously KNOW what punk is all about. jesus fucking christ. "I'm ashamed to say this, but I like the cover art. It makes me think of Clay Fighters." I did talk about the music. And sorry you like terrible music. that's a weak review. stop commenting on the press relase and talk about the fucking music. this is band is solid. sorry you don't "get it" Nirvana really does suck. I'm ashamed to say this, but I like the cover art. It makes me think of Clay Fighters. Wow, you really do make this album sound like utter shit... which it most probably is. |
