Black Rainbow by 400 Blows (CD, Apr-2003, Rehash) NEW

Description: FACTORY SEALEDEditorial ReviewsProduct DescriptionOne would never guess that the members of 400 Blows are fans of the Smiths when listening to their debut album, Black Rainbow. This California punk trio delivers a high-speed, aggro-accented set, and it's the farthest thing away from anything Morrissey and company ever did. Early Black Sabbath might come to mind first, but not the Smiths. Quick, pinch-hitting percussion from Ferdinand Cudia is fully as intense as Christian Wabschall's hypnotic guitar riffs, but it's the frenetic vocal screeching from frontman Skot Alexander that totally defines what 400 Blows stands for. There's more speed, more angst, and a raw post-grunge rage on Black Rainbow and for a young band, it's an explosive effort. They're not aiming to do what's already been done since Nirvana first arrived in the early '90s, because they obviously lack the desire to do so. It's pretty clear that 400 Blows isn't following any kind of post-alternative rock formula on Black Rainbow. The only thing they! 're wanting to do is rock out — and hard. With songs like "The Ugly Are So Beautiful," "The Root of Our Nature," and "Everyone Is Silent," 400 Blows feels the fever and wants the listener to respond without thinking. 400 Blows is sick — sick with what's commercially appealing and ill to what's currently thought of as punk. Black Rainbow is the real thing, so be afraid. AMGAbout the ArtistThis three piece (Skot-vocals, Christian-guitar, Ferdinand-drums) hails from Los Angeles, CA. They've been playing together for about 5 years. They describe themselves as an anti-melody band. Probably because the drummer and the guitarist lock themselves into taut, relentless, rhythm heavy grooves. The vocalist then skillfully bobs, weaves and jabs his way around these syncopated, complex compositions of noise with his caustic brand of story telling. Their live performances are well known for being extremely tight, powerful, and unique. The sole guitar player flanks the stage with two 100 watt half stacks that provide for an interesting blast of sonic intensity. The long awaited follow up to "3.19.98", "Black Rainbow" is now available through Rehash Records. Not exactly anything you'd expect. Simply a distinctive fusion of power, rhythm, and energy.
