Adjective City

Given the band’s name and label, I was expecting some warm and fuzzy Canadian guitar pop. Not so. More like a brutal onslaught, sometimes vocal but never intelligible, and more concerned with crushing you than making you shake yer booty. Fans of that early Amphetamine Reptile or Touch And sound Go will feel happily at home shaking their fist to this. Sonic Unyon, P.O. Box 57347, Jackson Station, Hamilton, ON L8P 4X2 CANADA
