BARN BURNERS - Bangers

New Romance for Kids Records

A powerhouse of an album has landed from this driving force from Montreal. I’m finding it very hard to draw comparisons to any existing band. If Steve Harris [yes, Iron Maiden's own] moved to Montreal and started eating poutine and joined Corrosion of Conformity I’d imagine it would sound a lot like this. Heavily driven by the art of the riff - the fuzzed out guitars take center stage throughout the nine tracks. Vocalist K. Keaglesmith Commands attention on the microphone Clever track titles including “Beer Today, Bong Tomorrow”, but this band is no joke. It hasn’t left my constant rotation for weeks, and I presume it is there to stay.
