From the ashes of Unida has now risen an outfit with a decidedly longer name, House Of Broken Promises. Meet Arthur Seay (who also produced the album), Mike Cancino and Eddie Plascenci. Three guys who wouldn’t frown upon hiring Lindsey Lohan for minimum wage. After all these stoners are all about using the useless.
While they aren’t doing anything new, they did manage to write just under a dozen solid stoner rock jams that will appeal to all the Kyuss fans out there. This is one big riff-fest but luckily the other two guys in the band have no problem providing an equally big sound to back the guitar up. My personal favourites would have to be the hand clap and gang shout enhanced “Obey The Snake” (yes!), “Highway Grit” or the commercially viable “Torn”. If you like your music loud and obnoxious and with balls, you can’t go wrong with “Using The Useless”.
Score: 7 out of 10
