Everything is edited down to the barest essentials here—a chugging guitar playing an undeniable hook, vocals that sound like they are coming out of a...

  Jeff the Brotherhood/ Screaming Females- Split 7″ 5/10 This isn’t quite what I expected from Jeff the Brotherhood and Screaming Females. Both these tracks seem very conservative, are clean cut and have a pretty standard rock sound. Compared to their previous releases, both bands have dragged home the rope on their wild ways, stripping away all the noisy raucous aggression...
