Blisters - The Sleepless Nights

Label: self released

Year: 2017

This record was released in 2017, but the band recorded it in 2010, after reuniting in 2009 from a break-up in 2000, following their formation in 1998. Got it? The band was based in the Netherlands, but the personnel was a collection of a Dutch guy, a British guy, and a Croatian guy...so...not the easiest practice schedule I'm guessing.

Musically, this album covers as much ground as the membership. It goes from Melvins-esque riffing to boogie damaged King Snake Roost type rock, to meandering post rock atmosphere, to circling Midwest noise rock sounds, to driving post hardcore bluster. Covers a lot of ground.

I liked this one, which is why you're reading this. Not to overstate the obvious. You should give it a whirl and let me know if you like it too.
