THE REVIEW
Carlo's Closet Records (Part 2)
Seriously, is there really no review of Live Skull in the debasio? I am truly disappointed with the fauna that preceded me.
Bringing Home The Bait is a 1985 album that had so much to say for its time, but it was overshadowed by its more famous and similar art-noise (Sonic Youth) and hardcore punk (Husker Du) counterparts, while maintaining a dark-punk base (Joy Division) that balances everything; songs teetering between epicness, torment, and anxiety. Deep bass and hypnotic riffs, piercing distortions and an exhausted voice; drums that seem to be played by a percussionist. Although at times they might seem like an English band, they are from New York.

Despite being overshadowed by more famous contemporaries like Sonic Youth and Husker Du, the album stands out for its hypnotic riffs, deep bass, and raw vocals. The band’s New York origins contribute to their unique art-noise influence with a touch of Joy Division’s dark ambiance.Tracklist Videos
