Band Aparte- Memory On Trial (CD)
2016 release. From down the end of Los Angeles, the barebones grave-punk duo Band Aparte strips down and combines elements of gothic rock, synthpunk, and beachy lo-fi as macabré appreciation simmers in the gut of the city. Vocalist Brian Mendoza effortlessly channels Joy Division and Nick Cave, crooning into a death bouquet with his shirt unbuttoned. But he's not doing it to imitate Morrissey's aesthetic - Band Aparte's shows are fast and fierce, and the crowd works up a sweat at every venue they play. It's a dangerous mixture that has crushed nights alongside such bands as Cruelty Code, Roses, Ghost Noise, and Terminal A.
Tracklist:
- Down The Road (Introduction)
- Creatures Of Culture
- Dream Wave
- Into The Window
- Cherry Chapstick
- Never Antoinette
- Band Aparte
- Plastic Face
- Welcome In
- Get The Gun
- Harvey's Youth
- We Are Home (End)
