The Cooters – Chaos or Bust (CD)

The screamed-out vocals that open up “Reign Lunacy” seem to be the perfect match for the super-sonic guitar licks that will remind listeners of both Fu Manchu and Queens of the Stone Age. Thus, “Chaos or Bust” opens up with a very familiar type of sound that will allow a high amount of cross-over. The repetition of the drum beat on “Crapple Pie” really give the disc a different flavor,…

Coolymack featuring Vegas – Hennessey Single (CD)

Do it yourself rap. How could I not love it? While the production of the track isn’t the best, the track plays itself pretty much like I thought it was. The lines laid down by both Coolymack and Vegas are pretty mediocre, and the main thing that I found myself listening to was the extremely fresh backbeat behind it. Don’t get me wrong, this track could conceivably be on BET…

Converge – You Fail Me (CD)

I’ve gotten into many an argument about how revolutionary Converge was, and “You Fail Me” starts out in a way that backs my argument perfectly – while they are not immediately able to be thrown in a genre, they are not changing the face of music with each note of “You Fail Me”. In fact, “Widows” is a track that lacks anything in the way of harmony and song-structure, and…

Controlling The Famous – Two Birds Vs. One Stone (CD)

Controlling The Famous plays a brand of rock that does not lean specifically to any one genre; the tracks are all proper without being boring, but might be a mite too anti-septic for popular success. Minor hints of Weezer insinuate the music on “Two Birds”, but largely, what can be heard on the disc is pure Controlling The Famous. Controlling The Famous’ big rub comes in the intense backing-beat that…

Aside from merely writing them, they know how to inhabit songs and make them breathe. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/10302-granddance/ Filter: When the eclecticism of Clap Your Hands… meets the epic mindfuck of Arcade Fire — and it’s all fueled by Australia’s notoriously noxious spirit — all you can say is, “Duck.” http://www.filter-mag.com/index.php?id=14622&c=3 Spin: As stripped-down Dappled Cities…

Controlling The Famous – Automatic City (CD)

When “Detox” opens up “Automatic City”, the arrangement that Controlling The Famous bring to the table first should immediately remind individuals of “Waiting Room”-era Fugazi. The vocals come from the opposite side of the spectrum, and finds itself in the camp of Pittsburgh natives Fuel. F-bands aside, Controlling The Famous create a brand of emotive, danceable rock without falling into the dance-punk phenomenon that has been the rage in the…

Complete Control & Krum Bums – Death Can Wait (CD)

I like splits when there is enough material provided by the bands. However, most splits that I get for the magazine are those that have only two or three songs per band. “Death Can Wait” is another of those, but at least, the output by each of the bands (Complete Control and Krum Bums) is solid enough to paint a picture of the band, instead of being three distinct ways…
