REVIEW.

In a day and age where every band is desperately scrambling to sound like everyone else, it's refreshing to hear a group who obviously don't give two shits about what's cool at the moment. Enter Melbourne's “Black Lodge Sounds” who have managed to fuse the guitar  acrobatics of Converge with rapid fire double bass runs and the rock n roll swagger of Every Time I Die. 

On paper that might sound a little strange, but what you'll get within a BLS song is a three minute blast of fretboard wankery that will have every wannabe MySpace shredder green with envy, double bass playing that'll make Tiger Army fans take notice and a drummer who is somehow able to keep the whole thing together. 

While all the members of BLS are clearly talented musicians they are smart enough to know that a song still needs a hook. So while you may be blown away by the musicianship that's on display on this 3 track demo I find it more impressive that the songs are so memorable and dare I say it... catchy?!

CONCLUSION.

This is easily one of the most impressive demo CD's I've heard in 2007, so do yourself a favour and go watch the band pull these tunes off live!
