Spin Cycle: The Avett Brothers, The Carpenter

Spin Cycle: The Avett Brothers, The Carpenter

    In the realm of swaying, stomping, harmonic pop-folk, The Avett Brothers stand only in the shadow of Mumford & Sons, a recent success story that, perhaps not-coincidentally, the long-running North Carolina brother-band is starting to bear more than a passing resemblance to. Comparing Mumford’s lone album to the Avett’s discography previously yielded only superficial comparisons: po-faced, earnest lyricism; the tell-tale lilt of a banjo here and there; shouty, fractured harmonies. But where the Mumfords use their Appalachian sensibilities […]

Spin Cycle: Dublin Death Patrol, Death Sentence

Spin Cycle: Dublin Death Patrol, Death Sentence

Not to contradict myself but the sophomore release from Dublin Death Patrol is the album I wanted when I picked up the latest Testament record, Dark Roots Of Earth. While DROE is a great thrash record, I definitely wanted something more in tone with The Formation Of Damnation or The Gathering. If I wanted something more like The New Order, I’d just go dig in my vaults. Nostalgia is not the case when it comes to DDP. Chuck Billy sounds downright vicious while Steve […]
