2nd Place EP
Castle Face

Rating: 6 down comforters out of 10
I guess you'd call Blasted Canyons synth-punk or something like that. You'd probably also call them Joy Division fans, surely a damn near useless description at this point for any band, but still...fitting. There are probably other bands out there that do it better, but this is still pretty enjoyable - especially the first half of the EP, and super especially the song "Liquid Fiend", which is the closest they come to a straight-forward classic punk sound. "Holy Geometry" is incredibly catchy as well. The second half is just decent, nothing to get your panties in a bunch (or unbunch them in the event they were already bunched). Worth the price of admission though for the two songs I mentioned, two great songs out of six is pretty damn okay these days.
