US Christmas: Eat the Low Dogs (Neurot)
style: steamrolling sludge rock
[rating: **1/2] One time this North Carolina band unleashed an uninvited 20-minute sonic assult at a bar, interuppting basketball on TV. That's hardcore. i wonder what Obama would think about that. This stoner spaced rock is powered by mountaineering guitar riffs and otherwordly synth and theremin, all of which are more welcome than the scruffy, tuneless vocals. -Kenyon
