Twin Wrecks
The Memory
|
This mini EP was handed out following a Queens of The Stone Age gig, as
everyone slowly clambered out of the double doors, high on something
indescribable. It's fitting to hear about Twin Wrecks after that
concert,
because at times they do touch on them musically.
This band is led by guitarist/vocalists Ryan Pavela and Dan Sullivan,
both
Chicago natives. And they waste no time on starting into blaring,
blasting
rock.
On 'Alcohol and Rock N' Roll', heavy musical production is key. The
vocals
are shift changing, and add to the sinister beats and rythmic hype that
the
band gives out. This song is good solid rock and roll with streamlined
relentless guitarwork and tight drumming, and it's perfect to go wild
to.
The sample tracks on this EP were taken from their self-released album,
Royal Drug Lodge (trouble for the rest of us), and if the full-length
follows suit with this three-track protocol, then this group could
stand for
some serious potential.
'Riot Ready' contains the bluntness and brutality of The Sex Pistols
backed
by a hardcore Black Flag. This is a screamer song, and it's as raw as
it can
get.
'End Of The World' has a continuous darkened beat with a trailing
bassline
right on its heels. Then the vocals kick in. The song breaks, and with
a
Mark Lanegan drone he speaks, and then its back to the aching screams.
Although short and sweet, it doesn't take much to see that musically,
Twin
Wrecks is already there. A perfect opening band with enough attitude
and
experience to provide an entertaining show (and a killer mosh). Look
into
these guys, and just take in the music.
