Whores. – Gold
To fully play noise rock, a certain aesthetic lyricism is required, even grimier than the music that surrounds and drives it. Initially, this lyricism was pioneered by the slacker-by-way-of-burn-out California hardcore "legends" Flipper, as well as the often perverse and sadistic Big Black. The two acts, stylistically different in many ways, drew a certain kind of glee in exploring the smut that truly made up the average human being, and consistently reflected that lyrically. These lyrics, in addition to the music, supplied a certain attitude to noise rock that became as essential to the genre as the music itself. Unfortunately, this attitude is not always easy to emulate, and has led to an aggressive number of hopeful noise rock bands who simply cannot pull off the swagger. Luckily for us, however, Whores. is not one of those bands, but instead pulls off the grime of noise rock with flying colors.
Whores – Clean
Unless you are waiting on a call, a date, or your food, 25 minutes is not a long time. For a band to cram exactly want they want to say into this period requires restraint, punctuality and precision. On Clean, the newest release from Atlanta three piece Whores, every minute is perfectly filled with riffs, feedback and, believe it or not, catchy vocal hooks.
