Young Widows - Old Wounds (2008)

Genre: Noise Rock/Post-Hardcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/youngwidows

Old wounds is a reverb drenched piece of music, effectively taking the old 80's or 90's post-hardcore sound and adding in noisy sections, clearly displaying the band's Jesus Lizard influences. I love how huge the bass tone is, it's really audible throughout the recording which is really cool. This CD was also recorded for the most part live but with extra studio touches added on top (as far as I'm aware) and I think this is as much a part of their sound as the actual music itself. They're also made up of pretty much all the members of Breather Resist, excluding the vocalist, and although I do prefer Breather Resist to these guys it's still pretty cool stuff.

Yeah.
