Iowa apparently harbors more bands than just Slipknot. Who would’ve guessed? Beat Strings is the name of this outfit and with “Fang In Rain” they have released a very enjoyable album. All of the songs are filled with references to the world’s two most popular indulgences. Those of course being sex and drugs. They have no problem adding the rock n roll themselves and so they’re all set for stardom.
Think of a mix between post-punk and glam with a vocalist who can go from mumbling to falsetto in no time. I’m hearing a lot of OK GO sounds in songs like “Nothing Could Explain” or “Lose A Disguise” which is always a good thing. With “Find A Love” they took care of the obligatory yet completely unnecessary ballad but other than that I have no problems with Beat Strings’ “Fang In Rain”.
Score: 7 out of 10
