Review :: Ultrathin – Endless Summer II

Ultrathin - Endless Summer II Ultrathin
Endless Summer II
(Campaign For Infinity)
Montreal, QC

Weird Canada Headquarters is quickly turning into the set of Honey I Shrunk The Kids: massive piles of musical commodities providing an artifice for the true Levin hiding within this macro-musical world; a handsome (maybe?) boy dancing with a broomstick to anthems pouring out of his Sony Walkmanâ„¢. Which is why my mind is being blown by the driving intensity of Ultrathin’s two-track cassingle on Campaign For Infinity. It’s simplistic, pulverizing, heavy, marinated in every fuck-you-this-is-your-last-chance teenage outburst, oozing in TMNT-approved distortion, and complete with harrowing, effects-drenched vocals. If you’ve ever been grounded for beating up your sibling, had your car broken into, or seen some crusty skid kissing your special friend, Break-in is your midnight jam; Break-in is your yoga mat to nullity; Break-in is your methadone. And when the guitar solo hits you’re re-living the time you decked that happy-hardcore goth-freak that stole your lunch money three years ago. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you’re cool, I’m outta here (to recharge the capacitators).

Review :: The Ether – Die Rococo! Die!

The Ether - Die Rococo! Die! The Ether
Die Rococo! Die!
(Campaign For Infinity)
Halifax, NS

The ether was my favorite physics concept growing up as a kid. Yes, I had a favorite physics concept because I was the 12 year-old loser reading math books instead of Archie. The point is: a pervasive nether-fluid permeating the universe in a futile effort to slow down light is the perfect banner for an experimental punk band from Halifax whose low-end-lo-fi recordings have a penchant for turning up your what-the-fuck-juice viscosity, damping the reverberations of your mind, and raising the Hamiltonian of your trash-hollering mechanicals. I’m not kidding around with this physics crap, either; The Ether is on to something and it’s going to be everywhere (pun intended). Listen while you still can. Brought to you by the kind folks from Campaign For Infinity.
