Tamerlane...hell yeah

Honestly what can you say about a band with a myspace URL like "gofuckyourself"? Actually a whole fucking lot. In anticipation for the new recordings to come out I decided to put this bands old demo into the share folder.
I have no problem jocking these fellas up cause they deserve every bit of it. If you have never seen a Tamerlane show in Salt Lake, then you are missing out on possibly the greatest show on earth (Barnum & Bailey can get fucked). Hell, if you live in Salt Lake and have never witnessed Tamerlane live, even if it was for a song and a half at the Addicted Cafe, then you are without excuse and should probably relocate to a place more panzy-ass to your fitting.
The demo starts off with an powerful instrumental, and doesn't stop there. It's intensely emotional, and probably some of the most pissed off music ever to grace my ears. Pretty vocals, sinister yells, guitarists that know there are more than 2 strings on their instruments, and it's all wrap up nicely with a Lifeless cover at the end.

Now there isn't a lot of bands who sound like these guys, but if you like Starkweather and Section 8, you'll probably enjoy them.

  2. I don't suppose we could get a scan of the booklet that came with this?
