The Band's name - Racebannon, was taken from one of the characters on the cartoon Johnny Quest. And this was their second full length by these rock 'n' roll juggernaut released under Secretly Canadian Records in 2002. From the very first notes, you can hear just how unique the song writing is. But I think the highlight of this album is the fact that most of the songs have forsaken a traditional ending in favour of abrasive noise that allows the album to flow from beginning to end.Contains 8 tracks, this album was a sonically saturating blend of Beefheartian spontaneity Melvins-esque heavy sludge, and Melt-Banana-like chaos slapped forcefully through a barrage of distortion, emotion, distress, and dismay. With this album, Racebannon is on a quest to represent the state of Indiana with glorious noise and chaos, spewing geysers of noise as if there were no tomorrow; long stretches of near-ambient rustlings, steely guitar pinging, and primal drumming only serve to ratchet up the tension before they wallop you again.
For you who are fans of Level Plane roster and Off Minor, this one is a must have.
