Speaker Speaker - We Won’t March

(cd review)

4.3.07


Speaker Speaker
We Won't March

[Burning Buildings]

Once in a great (great) while I feel the need to speed up my usual slowcore, acoustic guitar loving brain. In that case I usually reach for jumpy stuff like PB&J or Masters of the Hemisphere. But Speaker Speaker might also do for those times as well. Frenetic, fast paced slamdance indie rock is the name of the game for the Seattle based band on their We Won’t March EP.

They’re like a nosebleed on overdrive, coming down hard on you like The Thermals with extra snarls, a little Mission of Burma, a little old school 90s punk grunge. The emo moments don’t please me as much, but you can’t ignore their enthusiasm. The better moments are when they soar rather than scream. I sort of wish they were a little more melodic and less rawk. Still, they’ll give you a punky earful - have a listen.
