Really angular angst driven rock n roll from White Whale, a Buffalo three piece. This single is out on Big Neck in a limited run of 400 colored copies. The guitar is WAY out front on this shit, which makes it all the more rocking. Vocals are pretty buried. Pretty spazzy A-Side which then slows down and gets more mid-tempo rocking. Nice transition into the slower portion of the song that really only hangs around for a bit. The B-Side is more of the same spazzy angsty semi-hardcore punk. Not really screamy enough to tread into the hardcore genre, but definitely feeding off of it. The midsection of this track has a nice single note addition next to a garage-rock riff. The song’s called “Rats In The Snow” and honestly it ends too soon. This is a short snippet of music from a band I’ve never heard before but definitely is onto something. I’m from Wisconsin so I can listen to any guy sing about rats in snow all day long. Hopefully this guy has actually seen a rat in the snow. We may never know.
