Jaundiced and beguiling,
Hostile Combover is the brick through the window of the daycare, an inimical interruption in the form of lumbering instrumentals and dueling vocals. Born of the same storied San Diego post-hardcore tradition that birthed the likes of Tourettes Lautrec and American Ligature before them, Hostile Combover is a meeting of the guitars and vocals of John Cota (City of Whores, American Ligature, Congress of the Cow, twenty-first century lepers) and ColeTHE SON OF INDY RACE CAR LEGEND: RICK MEARS" Mears (American Ligature, Freedom for Saturn), backed by the drum work of Ben Johnson (Tourettes Lautrec and The Long and Short of it). In the amalgam, Hostile Combover exhumes a dense yet tuneful foundation shot through with instances of incisive staccato. These are songs rife with confounding changes that leave you reeling,only to set you up for an ensuing slug to the gut. Ben Johnsons syncopated beats lead a corridor with many turns and stop signs, wildly setting up breakdowns and changes that stun like a pickpocket. Cota and Mears overlapping vocals are by turns screamed, squalled, shouted a secondary battle only to whats going on in their hands. In their inceptive shows Hostile Combover has been laying it down on San Diego stages, garnering apt praise for their uncompromising performance.

REVIEW LIVE SHOW ON TOUR 08/28/2007 BY JENNIFER SAVAGE OF THE ARCATA EYE
'Tuesday’s show was one of those that made me leave thinking, “I really should make a list of my top 10 favorite shows in Arcata ever,” because Hope is Noise/Hostile Combover would definitely be on that list.'
'Hostile Combover reminded me of when I saw Helmet and how I listened to “Unsung” repeatedly about 100 times. Not just the sonic relationship, but that tightness, that energy – it spills into the audience so that despite the late hour, I left filled up instead of emptied out.'

RAZOR CAKE REVIEW:
HOSTILE COMBOVER:Storklord:
This San Diego three-piece band is a bombastic blend. Imagine early Amphetamine Reptile bands, like the Cows meets Fugazi or Nation Of Ulysses on a bus that Drive Like Jehu is steering off a cliff. Intense with the loudness the early underground 90s perfected. For reference, a hostile combover is what you get when you mess with indigenous peoples land, i.e. the Native Americans. Aint No Joke, brother, as these guys say. This seven song gem was recorded by Gar Wood of Hot Snakes.
Definitely worth seeking out. Guest Contributor (Self-released) ++++++
