TRU is a journey into the most intimate nostalgia, the wall of sound never yields, the J Mascis-like solos are much more alive, and fuzz reigns supreme. Steve Hartlett has reached an overall maturity really superior to his label mates, and Ovlov has carved out an important niche in contemporary alternative rock.

Let yourself be stripped by the title track of the EP that I don’t know, Flipper - No Trend - Wipers but with the Sonic and Dinosauric teachings. If I had to place this band between the USA and UK, it would be at the level of the Titanic.

Post-hardcore / emo-core with alternative rock inflections, the much more suffering voice, never shouting, but always on the verge of collapsing to the ground. A very slow descent, closing and opening my eyes, the stretches of lights, the total darkness above the sacred river, the window open and an air unstably cold and warm; pre-summer sensations, celebratory, intrinsic within me.

I can’t really tell you what I like about them, they are vaguely on the brink of many genres but post-hardcore is the common thread of this Sanctuary. A Hardcore tormented by a pure pop sensibility.

Ethereal Killer is really an album that went completely unnoticed, considering its release in that 1992 in full alt-mania genesis. The interesting thing is the punk concreteness, a truly well-coordinated trio that at times seems never to have left the post-hardcore '80s.

The band, however, is solid, granitic and derivative, from Los Angeles but with east coast sounds. My advice is to listen to the whole album, but Cansado is a hell of a track.

Will has the songs: if you listen to My Boy or Nervous Young Inhumans, they are two tracks that anyone would want to have in their discography.

This is definitely their best record, so many great ideas, so many harmonics, depre. I believe it’s important to be selfish at a certain point in life, not giving a damn about others and thinking only of myself.
