Labels: Tangled Talk Records
Review by: Ted Reynolds
Do these bands need press releases? It just seems pointless to me, and it normally just makes you look a bit twat-ish. It’s a shame.
Anyway this reminds me of glory days spent listening to Botch, Drowningman, Converge, And Dillinger Escape Plan before the new god awful wannabe Mike Patton singer they have now, yuck. It’s good stuff, well thought out and well played metal-core (math-core?) similar to the style before it seemed to turn into cunts dressed like ravers playing death metal with awful cacophonous melodic singing over it. Some nights when I was working in the Cavern in Exeter there would be whole nights of just bands playing that sort of thing. Horrible.
Anyway Lets Talk Daggers play it with a bit more conviction, and less pretension, with sprinkles of hardcore, and a touch of emo. BUT NO HORRIBLE HEARTFELT CHEST CLUTCHING MELODIC YUCK SINGING. Which makes them alright in my book.
