More Power Tapes (2018)
I'll admit it, while looking through the small pile of tapes I have looking for one to review, I chose Cyber Bullies because of what complete dorks these guys look like on their album cover. I'm sure it's supposed to be some kind of ironic, tongue in cheek thing that I don't get. But seriously, look at these dudes. I have no words.
Musically, it's fast and sloppy, with really loud keyboards. I wouldn't go so far as to say the songs are catchy, but they're not offensively bad and in general breeze past pretty quick. The vocals, however, are pretty awful. I can't say that the singer is screaming, because that's not accurate, but he's yelping in a way that pretty close to screaming and it's high pitched and all over the place.
I don't seem to like many of the releases that More Power Tapes put out. Occasionally there will be something nice and surfy, or maybe leaning towards power pop, but the bulk of it seems to be by weirdo punk rockers doing weirdo punk rock things that go sailing over my head. Maybe I'm an old square now, but I cannot wrap my head around who this tape would actually be geared towards.
