Last Communion
Last Communion
Oneside 12" & Silkscreened B-side. As if their main band SEDATIVES didn't keep them busy enough, drummer Dave and guitar player Emmanuel started off this new group, with their friends Hayden and Chuck from THE GREY, METZ and MOUNTANAKA, where they can live out another facet of their inexhaustible creativity. Dave changes to the guitar here and Emmanuel shouts his heart out on this mix of melodic PEGBOY Chicago-Punk, slightly dissonant RITES OF SPRING style Washington D.C. Hardcore, early SST-era HUSKER DU and what they call the ''Gainesville Sound'' that was kicked off by bands like HOT WATER MUSIC. The latter is surely due to the fact that Emmanuel sounds like a hungover Chuck Ragan on these 7 songs that are filled with dark melodies shining through a wall of broken chords and choruses that carry the heartfelt and passionate lyrics in songs like ''Forget lt All'', ''So Much Pressure'', ''End It'' or ''These Days''. And to leave no doubt who stood as godfather to this chosen sound, they close this one-sided 12inch with HUSKER DU's ''Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill''. Let these songs dissolve on your tongue before you take the last ride into the void!
