More 90's Influenced Rock!

Sainthood Reps - Monoculture

Initially, I was drawn into this album by the impressive list of influences on the CD sleeve: Fugazi, The Jesus Lizard, Built to Spill, and more. So I sat down, and gave this album a listen. The first song gave me good faith in the rest of the album, with a very Jesus Lizard-like rhythm section of destruction, heavy bass and drums in front of scratching guitar lines. Exactly what I needed on a dark rainy day like this. As the record went on, though, its true nature was revealed; midtempo, slightly ambient indie rock. Even though it maintains strong drum and bass sounds throughout, it doesn’t regain the momentous energy of the first track, although track 6 gets close. Still, it’s an album worth checking out if you want a good dose of 90’s style indie rock.
