ENDLESS ROPE

 



It's tempting to not even try to describe the sounds of ENDLESS ROPE, because they don't sound like anything I've heard before or since. At times they land like a modern post hardcore band, but the vocals sound like involuntarily shredding glass and the guitars are waaaaay too East Bay Ray to sound like anything except fucking punk....sometimes. Other times thjat same guitar sounds like an anguished post-alt freakout a la YEAH YEAH YEAHS or some shit and of course I mean that in the best possible way. The rhythm section is thunderous and ruthless, almost like they're trying to beat the other elements into submission and it all just fukkn works. I don't mind being a decade late to the game when this is the trophy....I don't mind at all.
