From: Pittsburgh, PA
Sounds like: Rock/Punk/Metal
"Mudhole" has a guitar riff that helps drives the track forward. The instrumentation sets a steady path once it gets going and the haunting vocals make for a pretty nice opener. "First String Scumbag" has a crunch to it that should help the Hard Rock fans salivate. The track will induce some serious toe tapping with its tempo. "Mirthless" has shades of Grunge to it as the moody Rock tones highlight the track. "Porcelain Skin" is a rollercoaster of sound. The different Rock tendencies shine through as it twists and turns with its pacing. "Scabby Child" is a track that keeps a steady pace and has more of an Indie Rock feel to it. It shows the true depths of what the band is capable of when they want to switch things up. "Rinse and Repeat" is a rockin' track that has hit written all over it. The grooves are awesome and everything works so well. "Creep of the Weak" brings back the Nirvana/Grunge sound. The track features some stellar guitar work as well. "A Moment's Notice" kicks right in with a catchy riff that sets a more Southern Rock tone. The vocals rock forward along with the instrumentation as it cranks up into the high octane chorus. "Shady Lame" cranks up at times and blazes forward with more incredible guitar work. "Syndrome K" switches things up and gets a little fast with its delivery. The Punk vibes are strong but once it gets going, it shifts to a different tempo. "Molly's Lips" closes out the album in a short, sweet fashion. The track wraps things up nicely and pits a tight bow on everything.
Verdict:
Neostem take another step forward with their unique Rock/Punk/Metal sound with their newest album.
