Loma Prieta. You already know. This Bay Area punk staple has been cranking out releases since 2005. They have taken a few different twists and turns but have continuously killed it, This new 7" being released by the giant Deathwish Inc. features two brand new tracks. "Love" will be featured on the bands forthcoming full length entitled Self Portrait, which will also be out on Deathwish and it's produced by Jack Shirley of Comadre fame. The second track "Trilogy 0 (Debris)" is only available on this record. Exclusively!
"Love" starts off kind of slow with this great melodic guitar part. This songs hangs back a bit, especially compared with some of their other work. It's less chaotic while still being full of emotion and rage. The vocals are really great on this song. Buried enough in the mix to make them part of the overall noise, but forward enough to really stand out. The drums are really nice too. This song makes me super excited for the full length.
"Trilogy 0 (Debris)" has really great vocals. They are toned back a bit and the screaming is replaced with quieter yells. This song is heavy as all hell too. The guitar is so beefy. I love that Loma guitar tone. It' always really full and mean. They get this great muddy tone but it's still clean and clear enough to pick out the riffs and specific parts, the same goes for the bass work. That great heavy underlying noise. The drums are really stand out here too. I love the tom fills. That guitar work at the end too. The high notes. Remember this song is only on this record.
Self Portrait will be out October 2.
