Good morning my beautiful and educated following, are you ready for something completely from left field? Well then strap on your moon boots and give White Denim a listen. Three guys straight out of Austin, Texas coming at you with what can only truly be called an eclectic mix of musical genius. Blaring out of the gate with garage rock fav. Lets Talk About It, this record boasts in my opinion such a wide variety of genres styles and sounds, there's gotta be a gem in here for everyone. From the jazzy Sitting to the wild loops and industry sound of Messed Up Your Hair to the Tower of Power like funk of Darksided Computer Mouth. I implore you all the be adventurous and get down on this record.

sounds like: The Unicorns, The Gossip, The Mars Volta, Post War Years

Woosh.

If I say Math-Rock in reference to this band, I'm gonna have 30 people up my ass about how everything this band did someone else did already (At the Drive In, The Mars Volta). And to those people i would like to say go ahead and fuck yourself. I don't give one good god damn because yes, these guys play some melodic fast guitar riffs that tear peoples eyes out and sure they have a vocalist who's not afraid to use every sound found in the human thorax. But I'm pretty sure ATDI, and TMV didn't drop a fucking patent on the ability to make great music so this band is in the clear. All that name calling aside, some serious grandiose in your face musicianship with this band and a drummer that flat out rapes face. Just try Delay the Fiasco on for size, one bad ass song. The AlbumWe Impend is a gem of it's own.

sounds like: Tera Melos, The Fall of Troy, The Unicorns (and yes) the Mars Volta, At the Drive-In

Zap.
