Nice percussive eq. Hailing from L.A., this duo makes you feel you're in the Deep South. Harmonica Fats plays a smooth haunting harmonica and adds deep vocals to match. The Knitting Factory label web site. This is a four piece from Seattle that set a punk pace mixed with misfits flag vocals in a good way.
Strength comes across the entire album.
Penitent is a Cold Meat band, and this is some scary shit. Musically it is mostly synthesizers running string sounds, piano and organ up high, and deep slow marching notes at the bottom. The first song is originally written by the Marquis de Sade, and their original work isn't about cat scratch fever or being a highway star. Now that your flesh is mine, I'll take your soul too. All the songs have old goth drawings to accompany the songs, lots of people carrying the severed heads of others, holding a severed penis in the other, two men cutting off a woman's breasts with giant shears.
