Review by: Andy Malcolm
This is a cool little 7″ by some band from somewhere. Two songs of screamy emo fun. The first track is “Flammable Dreams For a Culture of Nightmares” and it really rocks out energetically. The vocals are very Billy Saetia-esque (lots of people know this style), and the music fits pretty well with Saetia too, with plenty of driving guitars and vague melodies lost within the powerful rhythms. Good stuff. Over on the flip we have “It’s Opposite Day I Love You” (clever), which starts off with a familiar spazzy bouncy mid-west guitar sound that I find very reminiscent of Managra. After they get done with going all mathematical on you, they fire straight into a harsh screamo assault more in common with the other side of the record. I love the chaotic end of the song where it slows down slightly and they have the main vocalist battling against the throat of another and the spiralling guitars. The messy production means that the melodies are slightly lost in the mix, but it’s still pretty interesting stuff all told.
