Okay, so when is a called Solar Bear and their MySpace address is www.myspace.com/solarbearclub, I’m already liking them before I’ve even heard one single note. Seriously, them being from Denver and carrying on the torch where acts like Vaux and Fear Before left it smouldering, is just icing on the cake.
On their latest release “Captains Of Industry”, the angular guitars and off-kilter changes in rhythm may sound like a noisy mess at first. But upon close inspection, you’ll find that these tunes are actually carefully placed layers of madness. And over it all is vocalist Marcus Tallitsch who sounds like he’s got something particularly nasty lodged in his throat. This is some pretty cool post-hardcore that goes from calm to frenetic in about the time it takes for you to take a breath. Pretty cool stuff for anyone who has missed out on the original screamo wave of the early 90ies.
