LAMBHOUSE

Unsane is a brutally, devastatingly loud three-piece whose 15-year career has been built on a dedication to the hardest of hard music. Much of the band’s sound is rooted in the thick and thunderous bass lines of Dave Curran, which lay the strongest roots throughout Unsane’s heavy, riff-mongering songs. Drummer Vinny Signorelli plays a massive role in filling the percussive space created by the voluminous playing of Curran and guitarist/vocalist Chris Spencer, who can solo while Curran holds down the rhythm line, and can also tackle straightforward riffage as the bassist creates harmonic tides beneath the surface of the music. This CD, which contains 24 of Unsane’s most sonic and gloriously damaging tracks, comes with a DVD of videos (including the classic “Scrape”), and live footage stretching from 2003 all the way back to 1992.
