The Obits at The Rock Shop!

Obits
Featuring Rick Froberg from Drive Like Jehu / Hot Snakes and members of Edsel. A little like an older wiser Hot Snakes maybe. Where the Hot Snakes were all pent up aggression, and wild thrashing garage stomp, Obits traffic in something much more measured, but no less rocking. Still garage-y and super stomping, but tighter, more varied. Froberg sings as much as he howls and wails, the guitars here don't just crash and clang, they shimmer and twang. There's definitely a surf element; the drums crisp and tight, the guitars spidery, and crystalline more than crunchy and heavy. Sub Pop Records.
