If I tell you some band members from bands like DisfearDollhouseYear Of The GoatTortyr and The Dontcares started a new band together, what kind of music would you expect to come out? Now, I don’t know every band from that list, but considering the bands I do know I would probably just frown a bit, because they are so far apart sound wise. The chance I would have guessed this would result in a 90’s style indie rock band would be very slim.

Yet this is exactly what we got. The spirit of Dinosaur Jr. is strong on this EP. There is loads of fuzz, there is a poppy songwriting sensibility, it is catchy and heartfelt. The bio talks about a Husker Dü influence as well. I was reminded more of ESC Life, but considering their main influence that’s not a crazy thought.

Sweet Teeth is slightly faster and more punky than the bands mentioned. I can hear a sense of thunderous force that is held back. There is also a sense of longing for something more, a bit melancholic. This combination gives this EP a somewhat bittersweet vibe that is pretty cool. After spinning the EP a lot of times I feel the songs blend together a bit. It is a solid release without any fillers, but also without any hits. I look forward to more material from this band as it sounds really promising. It just needs that little push forward to make it stand out.

Best thing about writing reviews is finding out about new stuff that I otherwise might not have heard. Also writing reviews for bands that aren’t friends of mine is pretty cool but when I hear a band I really like, like Sex Faces, it makes me want to be friends with them, I can't help it! I’m not even halfway … Read more

Unseemlier

I Have A Screw Loose, Somewhere
Sell The Heart Records (2025)

What does Unseemlier sound like? I've been mulling that question as I listen to I Have A Screw Loose, Somewhere for a while now. As I listen to more and more Sell The Heart releases, The band is from Boston, but seemingly influenced by late '80s DC. It's heavy, but more with hardcore-like vocals shouted over moving, building guitars and … Read more

Personality Cult

Dilated
Dirtnap (2025)

I had a hard time starting this review. I can’t help coming back to the fact that it sounds like Marked Men. It does, maybe intentionally so, as Dilated is the second of Personality Cult’s albums that is produced by Jeff Burke of Marked Men and Radioactivity. But I don’t necessarily like to say a band sounds like another band … Read more
