Mob

With nerve and uncompromising attitude, Mob follows up their critically acclaimed "I believe in you" with more noisy rock strongly influenced by Sonic Youth and the likes. In fact, the four songs featured on this disc could easily be outtakes from "Daydream nation" or any other record released in the eighties by New York's finest. And that is both good and bad. Y'know, being a fan and all of Thurston, Kim, Lee and Steve, I've heard this before and don't really need more carbon copies. But on the other hand, Mob's intense rock really gets to me and, to be honest, I'm a sucker for these massive walls of distortion and find myself loving it after all. I will definitely be keeping an eye open for these guys in the future.
