SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE convey their
white-hot, angsty music with a crushing
sense of urgency....and all the way
from hometown of Angelholm, Sweden you
can hear it. A melting pot of emotive
sensibilities, they roar, wail and gush
melody with the greatest of skill. Their
raw, tactile edge as evidenced on their
debut THE PISTOL is utterly devoid of
any kind of preened finish, leaving it
stripped to the core and downright gritty,
gripping and real. The band have their
own way of softening the brash sound
they immerse you in, adding a spoonful
of sugar to their bitterly performed
rocktastic stomp. Their compelling
melodies draw you in with ease, limbs
flailing and self-control subsiding as
Sounds Like Violence's bounding energy
shows little sign of being defeated.
Guitar lines whip up storms of nostalgia,
nodding their heads in the direction of
early nineties American rock. Andreas
Solderlund's signature vocal style
combined with jagged melodies, jarred
tones and that messy-together sound they
produce gratefully infects your
consciousness. These are the boys that
will no doubt make hardcore and punk
kids strut the dance floor with a new
grace and style. Recorded by Mattias
Nilsson. Insanely good.
