Porcupine Defense

Splinter

Metropolis

Metropolis is quickly becoming the unchallenged electro industrial label of choice. Since the latest Front Line Assembly has apparently divulged into an almost techno environment (I’ve heard this word of mouth, not personally.), I would have to say Porcupine Defense has decided to continue in the direction FLA should have gone before adding extensive guitars to the mix. Electronic mayhem caresses the ears right before tearing through with an ice pick. There is nothing pretty or nice about Splinter. Fans of electro should be very happy with the melodies and rhythms Porcupine Defense force down our throats. Metropolis Records, P.O. Box 54307, Philadelphia, PA 19105
