Dyes

Self Made God (2009) — Jason

Mothra – Dyes — Self Made God, 2009

Noisy manic hardcore from Poland in the vein of Deadguy, Botch, or Norma Jean. Once again completely not my thing but Mothra seem to know what they are doing with their mathy assault. I wish I had more to say about this but I really don't have any frame of reference and it's too easy for me to make Polack jokes. I was bored throughout Dyes as it was just too haphazard as the band seemed to just take a bunch of parts and throw them together to make a song. If this were the early 2000's, I'd probably be more into this.

Pyramid Scheme of Grief

200 Words Or Less

This is one of my "find" records of the year so far. I caught a few songs by The Carolyn at FEST 22 and that essentially put them on my radar, but a new record gets a band even more on my radar. But I've been struggling on how to describe The Carolyn. I'll start with "like The Lawrence Arms, … Read more
