Stinking Lizaveta


I caught this band on tour with Torche and The Sword. You might have some weird feelings about this band when they walk on stage as the drummer some one's Mom, the guitarist looks like some one's stoner uncle and the bass player looks like some someone's weird cousin. Basically it's some one's weird family (which shouldn't be surprising as the guitarist and bassist are actually brothers), but someone should be stoked because this band puts on a pretty killer live show. Combining progressive techy guitar licks, intricate song writing and a steady flow of WOAHs coming from the guitarist throughout the performance, they don't disappoint.

Although this album is recorded by Steve Albini, you will be sadly disappointed by this album if you compare this recording to the band's live performance. Leaving the record very empty and boring sounding, their music doesn't translate very well.

Its at least worth checking out to get a feel for their sound, but seeing them live is well worth the money.
