Saw them live last week. One of my favorite releases of the year. Like the Mars Volta, just not as retarded.

Re: CLOSURE IN MOSCOW

Just listened to this band and i totally disagree with putting them in the same book as mars volta. The only reason someone would say they sound like the volta is because sometimes that CLICHE singer sings vocal lines over measures of music that dosent necessarily fit. Other than that just chords hit at off beats does not make this band like the mars volta.

This band is like chiodos mixed with karnivool. They seem to have promise but something about the way they all mix seems extremely poppy and cliche hardcore.

Plus that guitar sounds really fake sounding.

Absolutely.. There is so much that make TMV umnlistenable for me, these guys take the bits I do like and shape it into something good.

Just wondering how you have a fake guitar sound?

They sound like The Mars Volta, in the same way Sputnik Monroe sound like The Mars Volta

Re: CLOSURE IN MOSCOW

I listened to a few of there songs and they intrigue me so I should probably listen more. They are playing here in Des Moines here in a month and a half.

Nah, Sputnik Monroe's vocals don't employ copious amounts of falsetto flavoured with a quivery tremolo. The tempo of the music isn't fast paced with jittery beats. etc.

But I suppose they're both eclectic.

I've only heard their first album and that's a fairly good description of it right there...

to clarify, i'm not saying sputnik monroe sounds like Closur in Moscow

just saying they both sound as much like TMV as the other... Which is, not all that much

the way its recorded... just sounds like the sound has been altered so much it dosent have a feeling to it.

I dunno, the vocalist sounded cheese to me... the solo in the default song was a poor mans attempt at being classic rock. They just seemed way too polished...

just not my cup of tea. And now, i will leave this thread and stop instilling negativity into this thread.

ENJOY!!!

I know, I was simply countering that by putting into words why Closure sounds like TMV, and from what I've heard of Sputnik, they don't.

But I don't think I've heard their first album, is it recommended?

Re: CLOSURE IN MOSCOW

the singer sounds like a guy version of the chick from Paramore, mixed with Anthony Green and Cedric Bixler-Zavala. the music sounds a lot like Kaddisfly to me.

There's some great tracks on it. I haven't listened to it in years though, so it might be worse than I remember it.. hehe
