Released in 2010 on Flying Nun Records. • • Die! Die! Die! is one of those noisy mid fi, rock / pop / punk bands. They have been around since 2003. They're from New Zealand. This is their 3rd album. • • You should know the drill by now and know what to expect when you read the words noisy and pop in the same sentence. Loud, guitar driven, uptempo, catchy songs about malaise, restlessness and love. Reverb, distortion, energy. The usual suspects. • • These guys do tweak the formula a bit though. They add a little color, a little shimmer, a little shoegaze. And it sounds very pretty at times. It turns the otherwise aggressive sound of their music into something more vibrant. And that's cool. • • All the songs follow the same pattern and formula. The songs all have the same idea and aesthetic, and it doesn't totally hinder the enjoyability. These guys are able to switch the loud / quiet parts enough to keep the album somewhat engaging. • • So, even though the idea and sound isn't anywhere original, it's music we've all been hearing a lot of but with a slight twist and it works. I enjoyed this enough and didn't think these guys were just some coat tail riders. They pushed this tired sound into a more colourful direction, rearranged the formula enough from song to song to keep it interesting. As always, could have used more variety in their sonic template, but that's just me. • • For fans of Male Bonding, Dead C, No Age, At The Drive In. • • 3.1 / 5 • • And haters, I have twitter. Fight me like man! • / ywir
