Mind Spiders - Meltdown (Dirtnap, 2012)

Rating: 6 double angles out of 10

Mind Spiders = Texas-based catchy, driving punk with a pop sheen.  There is also a catchy kraut/psyche vibe to a handful of the songs, "Fall In Line" being the track of this ilk that stands out the most.  The band is headed by Mark Ryan, one of those dudes who is in a thousand bands (Marked Men, High Tension Wires, and surely some others) at once that all sound kind of the same but different enough for fans to need to listen to them all.  This definitely sounds like a Dirtnap record; and a decent one at that, though not groundbreaking by any means.  I think I probably prefer Ryan's High Tension Wires more, but it's a close race.
