 | Casket Salesmen Sleeping Giants Longhair Illuminati 5 out of 10 Band Website
This band sounds a little like Sparta and a little like Helmet, and maybe a
little bit of Queens of the Stone Age. They use a lot of similar guitar
work to Sparta with the high, heavy reverb on the lead, and sometimes the
spacey structure of the rhythm and drums. They like to heavily drive
simple chord progressions and repetitive bass lines, like Helmet or Queens.
One thing in particular I did not like was the lead vocalist, he had a "weird
neighbor" voice (not a band, just a person in your neighborhood that is
creepy). Actually he sounded like the kind of guy that would sing music for
children. Kind of like that guy who plays guitar and sings kiddy songs; I
think his name is Raffi or something. They are not a bad group, they just
don't seem to have any distinguishable qualities to call their own, not to
mention the singer give me the creeps. I guess the word generic can be
used, but I am tired of using that word.
