Unwound

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Perhaps the most musically abrasive group in the world of indie-rock, Unwound specialize in a dense collection of crushing power chords rising to feedback, melding the noise of Sonic Youth's more raucous passages with a rare energetic flair which rivals even that of Fugazi. Formed in 1991 in a small town close to the indie-rock nerve center of Olympia, Washington, Unwound was originally a trio of vocalist/guitarist Justin Trosper, bassist Vern Rumsey and drummer Brandt Sandeno. The band released two singles for Kill Rock Stars and one for Gravity Records befo...[more]

 

 

The first album from Unwound in three years finds them naturally having spent more time refining their musicianship in the studio. Their style has grown toward more ambitious playing. Their songwriting has matured with the creation of refined pieces and movements, well balanced and thought out. There are instrumental pieces that will surprise you, and sing-alongs that will woo you. Guest musicians include Steve Fisk, Janet Weiss, and Brandt Sandeno. The double CD is beautifully packaged and features videos    [ read more ]

Unwound's second record of noise symphonies contains some more coherently focused attempts at songwriting than their debut effort, and, on a whole, the Fugazi meets Sonic Youth in a dark alley musical theatrics really start to sound polished this time around. Tracks like the opening [ read more ]

Repetition is without question the most sleek and mood-encompassing album Unwound has released throughout the breadth of their career.

There are many off-kilter descriptions of UNWOUND giving references to a D.C. sound or to SONIC YOUTH. They aren't a hardcore band but play hardcore shows; they aren't an art rock band but this is definitely art.

With producer Steve Fisk at the helm, Unwound's first album bursts out of the gate with the opener "Dragnalus" and tears through a dozen songs of prime indie-grindcore, including "Star Spangled Hell" and "Pure Pain Sugar." ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide

Taking their punk heritage from the Buzzcocks, Unwound write grinding, but tuneful songs. Most tracks rumble with a wandering bass while guitar fuzz coats the works. The vocals are intense, usually screamed. One atypical touch is the closer, a hypnotic quasi-ambient organ piece. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
