The smell of fresh starts and rancid matter.The push that melts the button.The twitching of noses of rabbits and hares,and hairs that tickle your face.Mornings caked in yesterday's eyeliner,sick and piss.
"Acutely ambitious from the off, this astounding five-track affair gets straight to the heart of what this British outfit is all about. Obsessed with unleashing epic soundscapes to still the senses, This Is Not A Dead Transmission are one of the most exciting bands around right now, here presenting a breathtakingly conceived EP that kicks off with the wonderfully titled extravagance of ‘The Chameleon Strikes in The Dark.’ Proudly presenting something of an apocalyptic vision, a strong beat sets a whirlwind of guitar interplay into action to produce a grand instrumental that the likes of Mogwai would surely be blown away by. ‘These Are Streets We’ve Known’ goes on to make its presence felt by being brutal yet beautiful in equal measure, before the title track burrows under the skin courtesy of a sublime vocal performance. ‘Lovely Knees, Bones and Toes’ then pits a hurricane-force riff against pounding drums for the ultimate kiss-off, the moody brilliance of ‘Outside, Cats Sound Like Children’ providing a most fitting climax as a cascade of malicious yet tender melodies drown the listener in empowering sound. Indeed, what This Is Not A Dead Transmission produce is unadulterated beauty in musical form, and every risk that they have so far dared to make has reaped monumental rewards.
Imagine Biffy Clyro crossed with Scarlet Soho, and then think again. TINADT sound like no band other than TINADT, and believe me when I say that their ‘sound’ really does change lives for the better. " www.screamingtarts.com
"New band, first demo and an impressive first taste of their raw atmosphere, the demo landed here this week, not had much time to explore it yet, something good happening here though. Ambitious slabs of edgy guitar architecture and slow building crescendos" Organ Radio
This is the next big fuck up,
which you all aspire to be,you're not fooling anyone.
This is the thoroughbred stud's ball sack,
it rapes the carcasses of birds and mice,
the path of least resistance.
Excuse me if I'm repeating myself.
We ask for neither your sympathy nor your tear softened cheeks or your doe-eyed resilience;
Disgust.
We are bending under the weight of rueful glances.
We ask for help that we will scorn.
This is a slow building crescendo that threatens to destroy all around
yet in the end offers little but disappointment.
