They And The Children - Daniel Striped Tiger - split - 7

Labels: Shock Value
Review by: Alex Deller

TATC let me down on this one. Sure, they have the GREAT BIG SOUND that so delighted me previously, but the main riff is such a simpleton’s effort that I’m rather disappointed. The song chugs along in enjoyable enough post-screamo fashion but far from overwhelms. Boo.

Now I’m sure I had something else by Daniel Striped Tiger, but a quick shuffle through my records tells me otherwise. No loss on the basis of this “” trebly screamy emo that scrabbles its way energetically through two messy songs but fails to really cut the mustard. Some folks have been comparing them to Sinaloa and, to those deluded souls I’d just like to say this: ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?! The basic ideas might be similar, but Sinaloa take a thundering whiz over this band from a tremendous height.
