Pleasureboaters- !Gross!




This is a great recent release from Seattle punk group Pleasureboaters. There's a everpresent, urgent energy to this band as they scream and shatter their way through this selection of songs. The singers voice sounds similar to Cedric Bixler-Zavala from the Mars Volta. This may be a double edged sword in some respects because it will both entice and deter listeners. In saying that Pleasureboaters sound nothing like the Mars Volta. They constantly balance between No-Wave destruction of instuments and voices and more recent New York dance punk trends.

This link is to a streaming of their new album. Its well worth a listen.
