Review by: Chaz Hewitt
Whatever Brains are from Raleigh in North Carolina and deal in fuzzy poppy punk tunes.
The three songs on here are all pretty catchy, although the band seem to have attempted to contradict this as much as possible by throwing a whole load of noise, annoying (in the best possible way) melodies and snotty vocals on top of the skeleton tracks. Maybe it sounds a bit like Neutral Milk Hotel if they were in garage punk band, but I’m pretty certain that’s a completely terrible comparison. I just woke up, sorry.
My favourite track on here is the b-side ‘Nesting’. It starts off with just vocals and guitars, being played so lazily that you don’t think the songs going to go anywhere. But before you know it shit hits the fan and the rest of the band join in and a killer guitar melody/solo bring the song along to its end.
Nice stuff.
