chrome hoof

one of my favorite things in the world is hearing new, good music for the first time. i think we're at some pinnacle of musical potential in history, just about everything has been done, i mean, "Noise" is an established genre nowadays... it's nigh impossible to describe a new band's "sound" without referencing some existing band(s).

there's a huge difference between simply copying a sound or style and taking existing ideas, influences and sounds and fusing them to create something "new" (for lack of a better word). to my ears, Chrome Hoof succeeds at the latter.

steph described their sound as "!!! and Primus had sex in a dark place and the kid grew up and said 'i want to make musicals.'" What's it sound like to you?

That would make fine bike riding music. Maybe it's even good rollerblading music because of the Primusness of it.
