Format: CD
Label: Ache (@)
Rated: *****
Bizarre release, but I'd say if emo-core should have had any smart option of development that should have been the way. Should we give the usual list of references to paint a decent portrait for anybody who's never heard this one: if you ask me I'd say they combine the less poppy Joan of Arc with the most chaotic melodies of Storm and Stress and to me it alone would make them deserve the "good taste and great idea" quality trademark. Imagine Cap n' Jazz getting drunk as fuck, getting depressed, happy, melancholical and again happy and deciding it's time to rock in a "fee jazzy way"... well that could be the result. Bands like that makes you think how Capitan Beefheart deserves a special place in the history of modern rock music and therefore tip of hat to the mad bluesman. Energetic melodic indie rock with a strong free structure to keep it all dispersedly together, in someway it reminded me also a release like Union of a Man and a Woman in a softer and more "experimental" salsa. I don't know how many indie rockers can dig Winning since there's a lot of energy in their songs and there's also a good dose of extravaganza in their assembling the melodies but I guess if you're in some of the bands I've mentioned you should give it a try. Nothing so experimental probably but they have that element that many bands lose while going for the "free modus essendi", they haven’t forgotten the melody and that itself is a weird thing playing what they play.
