It's a lot like Botch, but grimmer and heavier, less whimsical - all of which is fine with me. Usually I'm not a fan of "sounds like" deals, but (a) this is very, very well done, and (b) I have sorely been missing the punishing angular mathcore that set the turn of the millennium alight. The production here is fantastic, with modern power, but not so compressed that it sands off the oh-so-vital edges. fyeahmetal
Chicago teen trio Lifeguard make their Matador debut with a composite of two EPs, including last year's great "Crowd Can Talk." Bandcamp New & Notable May 18, 2023
this piece is huge by no mistake! mixing all of the greatest noise inspirations into truely fucking universal composition beast of an album. guitar work is simply exquisite. no less are vocals and drums here. check those guys before they get this much famous that you won't be no more able to ! memek666
