Walls – “Future Is Wide Open, The” – [Iron Lung Records]

mickeyslim   3/28/2012   12-inch, A Library

Four guys out of Seatlle, WA who are very pissed off. Luck enough to have them up in the Pit early this year, and what a performance it was. A lot of the songs they performed are here on this album released last year. With socially provocative lyrics and a hardcore-punk/ noise-metal sound this album does a good job of getting you nice and pissed off as well (especially after checking out the killer lyrics sheet inside.)

Slow and drudgy in places, crazy fast and insane at others, throathy and also peircing screaming lyrics, and the drums create a sense of urgency with a slow tempo. This band has an incredible diversity of sound, and also had you moving around like you’re having an epileptic seizure.

FCC: A1, A3 (which tracks into A4), A6, B1 (tracks into B2), B3, B4, B6*

*awesome lyrics though
