Minus-9-
Drown CD review
A punk-influenced drum-and-bass
group who specializes in experimental, weird, almost Crucifucks-esque punk
rock, though there is a theme that seems to differ from traditional
punk-sounding music. Lyrical themes are
all over, but there’s definitely a lean towards war-themed songs (Blackwater,
World War VII, Genocide), and it’s all at least somewhat violent- interestingly
cathartic. However, this is very driven
music for missing a key component of a band, the guitar; the songs are
energetic, albeit without any recognizable song structure, just rhythms and
choruses. This band could fit into just
about any kind of show line-up in music right now, given how diverse and
nontraditional it is. I dig the
black-and-white imagery, though the benefit of lyrics would be nice- this is
discounted only because I can understand what bassist/singer Andrew is
singing. I can dig it. The songs are memorable, though the most
notable one is the last one, “Black”. The
rest don’t stand out much for music, but the vocals get kind of drilled into
one’s head, for better or worse.
