Heel Turn (2016)
I'm not going to be able to give you a particularly insightful review of this Messrs album. To put it bluntly, I just don't really like this sort of thing. The one sheet that came with this review copy of Messrs S/T LP compares them to early AmRep and Touch & Go bands. I guess that might be true, but to me, this sounds like a sludgy mess.
Are you looking for a loud, thick pile of guitar that has the treble turned all the way down to zero? Looking for some plodding drum beats? How about some shouted vocals that you can't understand? If the answer is yes, Messrs may be for you.
I'm sure there are people that would really like this album. Even I went through a period in the 90's where I was listening to crazy amounts of godheadSilo, Karp, Fitz of Depression and bands like that. But I've always felt those Pacific Northwest bands had a lot more going on than just yelling and screaming. I can't find anything deeper with Messrs.
