Burning Brides - Anhedonia

Burning Brides consists of vocalist/guitarist Dimitri Coats, bassist/vocalist Melanie Campbell and drummer Pete Beeman. Together they like to turn up the volume and crank out some high-voltage rock tunes who in their finest moments hold up nicely between Foo Fighters, Soundgarden and Queens Of The Stone Age. This means they have a lot of groove going on along with some cool riffage and plenty of post-punk angst.

There’s a handful of barnburners on “Anhedonia” that should have no problem lifting the roof off of whatever place Burning Brides are playing. What keeps this disc from being really good rather than just good however, are a couple of tracks that don’t seem to go much of anywhere (“Hurry Up”, “This Is A Wave”). Luckily there’s such a thing as the skip button so that I can rush right back to another track with huge guitars which is what they do best.
Score: 7 out of 10
