The Stills
- Logic Will Break Your Heart
By Linda Spielman
With the resurgence of format friendly
pop punk saturating the airwaves of today's radio, it's good to see that
some bands are taking a cue from the past and researching the true essence
of punk music.
The Stills have the same haunting vocal
style of many of the Neo Punk, Alternative icons of years past. A transportation
back in time when this genre of music was truly a rebellion as opposed
to the "flavor of the week". The importance of popularity via mainstream
was as unimportant as the people and values punk rebelled against.
This CD takes the listener back in time
to when punk wasn't sugar coated for suburban mall rats. The vocals are
shrieking and haunting like that of the Cure.
The sound is raw and hard...the way it's
supposed to be. The strongest aspect of the CD is consistency in the guitar
playing throughout each track. Although the tracks vary in temp somewhat,
the underlying guitar riffs are perpetually driving and powerful.
Despite the a well developed lyrical and
musical core, the placement of tracks might have the listener jumping around
a lot, as compared to a consistent listen from start to finish.
