MONDAY, APRIL 6 @ THE MOOSE LODGE
END OF A YEAR | BRAINDEAD | FORCE FED | BLACK TEETH | ABOUT FACE |

END OF A YEAR (New York / Deathwish Inc / End of a
Year started as a way to kill time for Albany musicians already
involved in full-time bands. Having spent time playing heavier music,
the initial End of a Year line-up was interested in trying something
more overtly melodic. After releasing a number of releases End of a
Year caught the attention of Revelation Records, and in 2006 they
released the Sincerely album on that label. Since the release of
Sincerely, End of a Year have released a number of 73EPs and split
73EPs on various labels worldwide. Their latest release (and first on
Deathwish) is a fantastic 73EP recorded by End of a Year guitarist
Andrew Duggan. Picking up where previous releases left off, the hook
laden opener Robert E. Howard explodes with a discordant crash and
bang. A fitting sonic backdrop to vocalist Patrick Kindlons uniquely
honest and poetic diatribe. This theme carries into the other two songs
on the release Gray Morrow and Walter Miller Jr. Collectively all
three songs carry an organic ebb and flow that brings to mind the ghost
of Rites Of Spring as well as other influential Revolution Summer-era
DC bands. This release features original artwork from acclaimed artist
Erol Otus, illustrator of the early Dungeons & Dragons franchise.)
BRAINDEAD (New Jersey / Philadelphia / Melodic
hardcore has become such a bloated genre lately that for a band to
elbow its way to the front seems liake an almost impossible task.
Hopefully, Braindead will be able to maneuver through the throngs of
calculated and overblown acts to the front of the crowd. Passion isnt
something that just comes along with octave guitar riffs and melodic
interludes; its earned and its sincere. Braindead are sincere and
take their time. Some songs have minute-plus outros of excellent
melodic and spacey guitar work which provide a respite from vocalist
Chris Lynchs assault. Others are singeing in their punk-rock
firestorm. There is some occasional singing thrown in, and usually
thats cheesy, but with Braindead, its more Dag Nasty or Minor Threat
than it is Top 40. This Philadelphia quintet has hit the passionate
hardcore nail on the head; hopefully, the kids will be able to sift
through the detritus and find this gem. Peter Fryer)
