Destroy This Place / Hospital Garden split 7"

Destroy This Place / Hospital Garden split 7"

DESTROY THIS PLACE could be from anywhere - Minneapolis or Boston in the 80s. Chapel Hill or Seattle in the 90s. Maybe even England. But as it stands, they're from the suburbs of Detroit - and you re right, you can t hear it - and all four of them have been at this sh*t for awhile. They're just moving forward, making loud-*ss rock songs with big drums, big guitars, big low-end, and big melodies, made by big boys (age-wise, 30 is the new 20). As the Deep Cutz blog points out, This is what happens when musicians are done f*cking around. For a very brief period before it was swallowed whole, gutted, and repackaged by the corporate music leviathan as indie rock, a term so oxymoronic it makes the brain swim just thinking about it, the so called Alternative Nation was free to explore different combinations between punk and whatever could be smooshed in to soften that tired warhorse s increasingly rigid boundaries... HOSPITAL GARDEN sound like they just time-warped from the moment that whole scene hit its apex, when the edges were coated with a perfect amount of pop to make the poison go down. You get Hüsker-aggressive guitars, laid back Stipe-ish vocal delivery, and a blend of harmony and dissonance that recalls both the punkier edge of early grunge and bands like POSTER CHILDREN. This killer new split 7" is the bridge to each band s eventual upcoming full lengths and features two brand new songs from each band on clear vinyl with full color covers and limited to 300 copies with a free high-quality download code.
