We've were on break from the stage since November '08, but we are back full force this summer, along with a release of a new EP we've been working on. We are VERY excited about this new recording.
Thank you for all your support last year, we hope 2009 will be fruitful for all.
“Armed with the sonic intensity of Sleater Kinney and the heavy pop melodies of San Francisco's now-defunct Glitter Mini 9, Disgust Of Us' Our Error is a hard-hitting debut. The Oakland quartet has built a steady live following over the last few years and as a result, the numbers here sound road-tested and confident. Singers Cheryl Martinez and P.J. Thomas share vocal duties like an East Bay version of X, and their interplay is as natural as it comes. "Happy In A Japanese Jail" is a frenetic blast of nervy post-punk; the crushing and melodic "Love Loves Lust" sounds like Exene Cervenka at her most vital and "Harvesting Hearts" is a driving number that wouldn't have sounded out of place on the aforementioned Sleater Kinney's All Hands On The Bad One. Later, "Mousetrap Mind" is a stinging winner; "Baltimore-Berkeley" manages a fierce prowl and the pounding velocity of the closer "Wandering Weary" results in a crunchy and satisfying endnote. Debuts rarely come this assured-keep your eyes on this band.”
(April 08) - Amoeba.com's blog section features an interview with Cheryl and PJ about the band. Thanks Billy Jam! http://amoeblog.com/
