Black Moth Super Rainbow "Eating Us, the fourth album from the Pennsylvania synthedelic band, is arguably its most accessible yet: It tones down the mind-blowing distortion and plays up the group’s melodic sense and danceable rhythms." - The Onion "On Eating Us, Black Moth Super Rainbow prove that they can grow up a little without growing boring, and still deliver exactly the same amount of unhealthy sweetness as before." - All Music Guide Dan Friel (of Parts & Labor) ""The music he ends up with sounds like little else out there, a heaving mass of static beats, monolithic distortion, and bending, diving tones.. a unique and uncompromising sound that ultimately transcends its limitations." - Pitchfork "Strange and wonderful, and best of all, unlike anything else we can think of." - Time Out New York 8pm Wednesday July 29 Torche "And Helmet’s inner-city noise-rock mixed with Tad’s backwoods psychedelia are undeniable. But Meanderthal is much more than the sum of their influences. Torche don’t juxtapose melody with atomic chords; the melodies themselves decimate, the intertwining harmonies are what boil your blood. This isn’t a seamless combination of genres, but a whole new beast built from the DNA up." - #1 Extreme Album of Year 2008, Decibel Magazine "Torche's Meanderthal is definitely one of the best albums of the year. Accordingly, I listen to it more than I probably should (basically daily)." - Stereogum "Musically, the group finds a comfortable middle ground between their speed trials and more turgid pace, allowing Steve Brooks' militant holler-- usually more reminiscent of Helmet's Page Hamilton-- to take on a melodic bent that could bring to mind anyone from Dave Grohl to Jawbox's J. Robbins." - 8.2 Pitchfork Harvey Milk "Most everything the band's ever done right-- from its ultra-dynamic, frighteningly agile early work to the Dixieland Motörhead maul of its later work-- falls into place here, the elements freshly recombined." - 8.6 BEST NEW MUSIC - Pitchfork Nitroseed (Members of MD doom bands Earthride and Wooly Mammoth.) 8PM BUY TICKETS NOW FOR ALL EVENTS!!!
