Tweezer

How to Live in a Day of Moral Chaos

ShoeString

“And on the hundred-and-eighty-fifth day, the Lord said, ‘Let there be rubber mallets encased in velveteen!’ And lo, as named they appeared… “

Not many bands today venture into Tweezer’s home turf, a kind of riff-heavy dissonance. Driving and pounding, Moral Chaos radiates enough energy to heat the average American home. Living on the brink of falling apart, Tweezer expertly maintains its balance, pitting melodic interlude against screamed distorted vocals and growling guitar/bass lines. Heavy and infectious, and not without a sense of humor – “Das Freshmaker”? ShoeString Records, P.O. Box 8952, Atlanta, GA 31106-0952;
