Everyone writing reviews every now and then knows this feeling. After
opening your mailbox you notice a CD mailer from abroad. You don't know
where it comes from exactly and have never heard of the sender. So a
tension inside rises. Few seconds later you hold the typical
soon-to-be-part-of-every-distros-cheopo-section CD in your hands. The
artwork lets me expect strange stuff: it shows a badly painted insect on
the front while the back displays a bottle of beer covered by the band
name. This release looks so horrible, the quality of the music doesn't
matter anymore to ensure the downward career of "live. die. repeat."
Well, back to the facts. Dyslextasy (what the hell does that mean?)
were founded as three piece in Oktober 2007 and put out
this debut album three(!) month later (a followup is in the works). The Seattle based band delivers us seven boring rock'n'roll songs influenced by stoner rock,
garage rock and punk rock. This might be average stuff for a new local
band but whether this needs to be promoted worldwide? Lyrics about
topics like finding your way home or driving around with a gun to
straighten some freaks out verify my rating once again. Consider this to
be strange cheese or even a worst case scenario. [benni]
