"Quitter" Quitter |
|
Hailed as the "Next big thing" by themselves, basically, and such an immense self-imposed pressure is quickly inhaled by the sawed-off Seventies' styled foursome and forcefully exhaled in the form of heavy hitting Hard Rock weighted with dense riffs and Rock star excess. If this is the natural evolution of Stoner Rock, it makes perfect sense. While Stoner's got its style, it's
limited to the extent of content and sludgy guitar-now here's what happens
when you add a conscientious vocalist and infuse melodic verses, where
you pick up the levels, kick start the jams, benefit from a quick momentum
gain-let's take "Black Box," and "Tear You Down"
back to back for referential purposes, and Don't quite get what "Quitter's" supposed to suggest but it's a lot easier to remember than "Roadsaw 75 " or maybe not. Well they are anyway, led by the
highly touted guitar/vocal tandem of Ross and Hassin, they successfully
weave Loose lips and lyrics, tight jeans
and dark glasses, a missing "Whiskey Chixxx" demo
and somehow it all makes sense in this psychedelic swirl of flashing strobes
and smoke that was and is Rock and Roll! Review by Vinnie Apicella [va85@columbia.edu] P.O. Box 20252
