   About to the boats..!

The four members of To The Boats..! are confused. They adore the pretty, delicate melodies of the English folk revival, but they also love the harsh noise of NY no-wave and the screamo supreme-os of technical metal. They are fans of the sharp efficiency of punk, but counter this with admiration for the drawn-out conclusions and time signature about-turns of prog and post-rock. It's a tough balancing act, but one they get right more than falling on their arses. But anyway, it's all about having a go, right? Come, see them cram all of this into something approaching pop songs. Oh, and the punctuation IS important (if you seek further clarification, ask the bass player).

Hey hey, excuse the spam. . .



"blending low-level hip-hop beats with Scorn-esque bass and elonated guitar riffs to remarkable effect. . . it's that awesome. . . the music is superb, the artwork and packaging equally good. . . [it's] warped shuffling genius. 300% necro, foo'! (5/5)" (Zero Tolerance magazine).
