Punk Planet Review

While our main focus lately has been finishing our new album "Signature Bridge", we will also be re-directing attention to our previous album and e.p. To say that self promotion isn't a strength of ours would be an understatement. But we are turning over a new leaf, and that's what matters right?!

So, here is a kind review of the Red Budget E.P which saw print in the much-missed Punk Planet:

Originally published in Punk Planet May/June 2007

It figures I’d find a record like this only after compiling all those obligatory year-ending top 10 lists. Where have these guys been hiding?

This majestic seven-song EP is everything you could ask for from a young post-rock quintet and then some. The album-opening “We’ll Give Them Their Shoes Back at The End,” where the glassy notes of a slowly accelerating crescendo begin to swell together like tides, is as captivating as most of what Godspeed You! Black Emperor put to magnetic tape. The moody epic “Requiem for Ventura Boulevard,” all emotive cello and roaring guitars, does Mogwai proud.

But, this Buffalo group’s also sharp enough to offset the sweeping and ambitious pieces with more accessible fare that’s just as riveting and carefully sculpted.

Case in point: the shoe-gazing pop rock of “That’s What You Get for Talking About Science,” the stitched-together playfulness of “The Zombies Have Laptops,” or the adrenaline-pumping refrains of “Shooting the Breeze With an Air Rifle.”

The closing “The Twin Peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro” aims to tear down the roof and, at times, feels like it’s close to succeeding.

High praise, indeed, for a quietly released EP. Now, if only I could edit those top 10 lists.
