The Revolution That Never Was And Never Will Be
(2001)
Reviewed by Tyler
this band is stalking me, i swear. they were the unannounced opening band at the fugazi show. then, when i showed up at cornerstone, they were there as well. now i get their c.d. to review. leave me alone! this is vaguely reminiscent of screamy emo, which i call scr-emo, such as roadside monument. i dunno. this isn't terrible bad or anything, it's just not that great either, like 95 % of the bands out there. the funny thing about this is that the title of the cd reminds me of that film they watched on the simpsons called "the christmas that almost wasn't, and then was". it's too bad they don't make an album out of that, with the "spend my days pitching woo to you" song. i'm happy.

HM Magazine #92Reviewed by Treble BandopplerThese Canucks are pretty much out of their gourds. The Revolution That Never Was And Never Will Be is a 13-song disc of garage rock madness, hissy fits, jams, space-outs, and gutter anthems. This is what happens when you let those Canadians out to play. You'd think you would have learned with Phaedo and the Status. Blame Boot To Head for this round of repressed northern people venting.
