Incrave: Dead End

First thing that that struck me about this lot was a certain band from Finland, despite the fact Incrave comes from Sweden. One called the Rasmus, who I rather like I would add. The lead singer is a virtual vocal clone of the vocalist for Rasmus (check out "Shattered") and the tracks sound very similar. Now, I am not saying that this band are untalented or bland in any way. They are rather young.

However, it would be nice if this band were a bit more original in their output next time. They have made their point; they have the chops. Now, let's see some originality? The combination of the Rasmus sound and power metal is quite intriguing but there needs to be a bit more to make it special. This lot are ones to watch. That is for sure.

Radamacher: Stunts

Boring indie rubbish is all I can muster about this lot. It's plodding, dull, and sleep inducing. I am guessing you are supposed to be on heroin to get this stuff. It's "DIY," which is to be admired, but the trouble is that the songs are just awful. This release was painful to listen to. If you like miserable plodding self-absorbed alternative wank, than this release will be right up your alley. I just don't get the attraction to stuff like this.

Well, that is your lot. Mostly good stuff but without the rubbish you don't appreciate the good. As always, I wish you a safe and healthy week ahead. Go check out live music whenever and where ever you can.
