Nonpoint

Separate Yourself

Primitive Productions

A garage version of Rage Against the Machine. Slow, heavy, emphasizing percussion, pounding metal guitar and growling thrap vocals. They also experiment with cool jazz and instrumental hip-hop. Their songs are directed against depression, suicide, hypocrisy, and the other problems the living are faced with each day. All the songs except, that is, the last minute of “Doublestacked,” which they’ve entitled “Clown Sex,” which sounds like two kewpie dolls getting it on with an old fashioned car horn. It’s actually quite obscene, if you ask me. Primitive Productions, P.O. Box 5891, Lake Worth, FL 33461-5891
