This is the best cd ever very good but can be depressing as sad lyrics and beat can be described as gothic rock but also a bit like courtney love and hole not as punk as jack off jill though i would defently recomend this cd to absolutely anyone at all

OK, so I'll start by admitting a weakness for female-fronted alternative rock. Also kudos have to be given for the rather distinctive art work from Mark Ryden used on the cover.
Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole - Other than having such an intriguing name, the first thing that sprang to mind when I head this track was "Lush turned evil". It skillfully mixes a seemingly jolly verse with a harsher guitar laden chorus
H/Q - Gets going straight away and doesn't stop. A pretty decent track in itself - the kind that makes your foot start tapping - but I found it to be the least memorable of the single
Creep - Well, I like the Radiohead version, and I always think that you shouldn't do a cover unless you've got something new to bring to the track. Scarling do that admirably, with Jessicka providing a both a sweet and distorted, anguished vocal performance, against a crashing guitar backdrop.
I have to take this chance to plug Queen Adreena (a little-known band from the UK) - if you like Scarling, I think there's a good chance you'll appreciate QA, too (and their live performance is something else ... ) |

| Scarling. `Band Aid covers the Bullet Hole' (Sympathy for the Record Industry). Okay admittedly a little late with this one, but [hey] sometimes you just can't keep a good tune or three down. Currently to be found doing sizeable damage on the `Blisscent 2' compilation from Blisscent Records and holding its own among a welter weight of gliding guitar ensembles most notably the Meeting Places, A Northern Chorus and the storm chasing Skywave, `Band Aid covers a bullet hole' is the debut release from LA's Scarling. a knuckle rapping taster for their recently released full length `Sweet Heart Dealer'. Scarling. are the latest in a long line of melody based noise niks currently setting alight Stateside, formed out of a chance meeting between guitarist Christian Hejnal and ex Jack off Jill vocalist Jessicka, this quintet (who incidentally look like the bastard offspring of John Cale with fully signed up membership cards to the local Jean Paul Sartre existentialist debating society) cleverly marinate varying degrees of goth and shoegaze with a hammer like noise attrition that appears all at once threatening, hostile and yet curiously beguiling. Pressed on red vinyl and housed in a sleeve depicting artist Mark Ryden's `Wounds' painting, `Band Aid covers a bullet hole' is a chime happy bruiser with bite, a bit like opening a brightly wrapped present on Christmas day and finding you've just unlocked a Pandora's box letting loose onto the world a scheming array of mischievous sprites and delinquent demons. Taking their cue from the likes of Lush, Bang Bang Machine and Curve, Scarling. offer up an alluring bait and like the fly to the spider your drawn instantly into their colourfully woven web, Jessicka's almost child like naive vocals cutting loose deceptively from angelic invitations to sinister mockery perfect act as a foil for the dreamy wash of cascading melodies themselves routed by barking bursts of fuzz and life sapping fury. `H/C' is a little more direct in intention, a curdling mix of locked down heavy bearing grooves, claustrophobic vibes and grinding swamp like menace that exudes such a wretched feel you'll be itching for days. If you get the CD version you get the added treat of a cover of Radiohead's `Creep' which if anything ups the self loathing factor by a considerable margin to spine tingling extremes and has the band giving a commendable chilling account of themselves. Essential, as if it was going to be anything less. |
