Another solid release from Norway's JR Ewing. They offer up a storm of rhythmic chaotic emo rock with plenty of pulsating energy. They have totally mastered their sound, and anyone interested in this sort of hardcore would be insane not to check these folks out. I recently saw them play in Germany with Orchid, and they went blow for blow with Orchid though they had some technical difficulties. Great band.

With tightly wound guitars and a thrashy intensity, Maelstrom serves to sweep the dust out and revitalize the stale hardcore genre. Fresh off the road from a European tour with Coheed And Cambria, the band plans to tour throughout the year, bringing their explosive and inspiring show stateside.

Comparable to bands like DRIVE LIKE JEHU, ANTIOCH ARROW, THE WHO, SHELLAC, etc. with an updated, technically-minded twist, the group has released one LP/CD (Calling in Dead, Coalition Records, 2000), a 7-song CDEP/10" (The Perfect Drama, Coalition, 2001), and a bunch of EPs since their inception in the winter of 1998. JR EWING's second album, "Ride Paranoia," is their GSL debut. The result is an intense record with a clear and distinct sound, an assaul [ read more ]
