SBSM


With the possible exception of HIDE, I can't think of a modern band who captures '80s industrial/dance as perfectly as SBSM....the difference is that once SBSM wrap their hands around the sound, they destroy it. Ominous synths and live drums set the room while vocals shout desperately to break out. Never do I feel like I'm listening to a rehash - I feel like I know where they started, but this Oakland band has moved far far beyond that starting point. 

EP on Thrilling Living, cassette on Remote Outposts
