Ever since At The Drive-In came busting out of the emo-core
gates of the mid 90's, they've inspired many bands to play
spazzed out rock music with panicked vocals and to do it while
destroying everything in their path. One of those bands they've
obviously influenced is The Letters Organize. Pimped to death
by Alternative Press since last summer, The
Letters Organize destroyed a few Warped Tour dates and
quickly signed to Nitro Records. It was all well deserved. I saw
them on the Tampa, Florida stop of Warped Tour and never
forgot their blistering and violent set. But would this energy be
transferred to their record?
From the first burst of energy of "Dressed In Gatwick," The
Letters Organize rarely let up from their aggressive post-punk
attack, which might remind you of the aforementioned At The
Drive-In or The Bronx if they used steroids and speed. For a
half hour, it's almost like listening to the same song, but it's still
one damn good song. There are little things here and there that
separate songs from each other like the muffled guitar on
"These Words," as the song's rhythm will inspire clapping hands
from live audiences or the drum intro to "They Call It Rock And
Roll (Or Some Other Shit)."
The Letters Organize definitely bring aggressive music to
another level in the punk/hardcore scenes where metal-core
has run its course and punk ideals have turned dry.
Deadly Rhythm Machine is the record for you if
you want fast, aggressive, attention deficit disorder inspired
rock music. |
