Steve Carface Familiar Traps CD
A shambolic, wild sound. The sound of a punk band knocking over a dish rack. Some songs tear ahead with basement show abandon, while songs like “Void” feature a slow, almost FLIPPER-like lurch. The band sounds all over the place, but I suspect all those bum notes and ringing crash cymbals could be intentional. Either way, the sound is convincing and compelling, although a half an hour is a long time to keep things at such a fever pitch.
