Demos Ii

This band kicks ass!! Part of the same genre as Subtonix, Phantom Limbs, The Vanishing. Dark yet upbeat spooky stuff out of Memphis. Chorused female vocals switch off with male vocs, lots of scary synth, scathing guitars, driving beats that smack of pogo’ish new wave but noooooo, no way Mollie Ringwwald would be found around this. The music is searing dark and evil and weird, with female scream vocals that singe your hair better than any black metalist could. Yet Souisie Sioux comes to mind in all of this. Great band, great band live too. This is a comp of 7”s and demos over the years. All EXCELLENT.
