Rip It Off

Hot on the heels of two rabidly devoured releases on Siltbreeze, the Matador debut from this Columbus, OH band is the classic we were hoping for. These two guys and a girl make super lo-fi thrashy arty stuff with melodies buried under screeds of noise. There's a touch of early Pavement but with Midwest energy. "The songs are pop-punk gnashing and snarling and droning with all the sexual frustration and delicious ennui that's been surgically removed from the radio version" - Pitchfork. "A bunch of ex-art school kids just out of their teens who play lo-fi, ADD-addled guitar rock hearkening back to fellow Buckeye greats Guided By Voices" - LA Weekly.
