DCRekkidCollectorFrom MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #323 APRIL 2010
This record starts with the most amazing guitar tone-super clean and inviting. The riff it plays carries the song right along with the busy drums trotting into a manic frenzy - the music building and building to an intense crescendo that lasts just long enough to appreciate it. A great opener to introduce an incredible EP by four scene vets from DC. The sound of this record is one of the most amazing aspects, and the heavy vinyl and superb production really paid off as each instrument is immaculately represented. For good reason. too-these songs are well written and powerful as shit. Some have the genteel approach of, say, INDIAN SUMMER or SHARKS KEEP MOVING, while others have a more assertive sound like AMBER INN or FUGAZI. From what I understand, there are members of 1905 and LOTUS FUCKER in the band. Really solid indie/emo- beautiful packaging, thick vinyl, strong release. (RM)
