Mind Spiders
Prosthesis
Dirtnap
2016
Rating: 8 giant codes out of 10
Despite
this being their fourth record in five years and having connections to a
ton of great bands (Bad Sports, Marked Men, Radioactivity, etc),
somehow the Mind Spiders have totally escaped my attention. It's
punk, but that dark, synthy type that I always find myself drawn to.
The Devo-esque music combined with distorted vocals immediately made me
think of Jay Reatard's side-project Lost Sounds, some of the heavier
moments from Total Control...and hell, maybe one of the closest
comparisons might be the late, great Whatever Brains, but I doubt anyone
outside of the greater Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area would have any idea
what I was talking about. Either way, this is catchy, good shit - gonna
get a lot of spins.
