Econoline

Econoline EP

Label: Badmusic Release Date: 04/12/2000

jmoore by James Moore March 10th, 2001

The eagerly anticipated debut release from London’s newest noiseband Econoline

Ever wondered what would happen if you were to take the fuzzy guitar noise of Husker Du, combine it with the freeform dynamics of Braid then add the ex-frontman of the Cashcow, Mr Ian Scanlon, a self-proclaimed 80’s US hardcore wannabe? Didn’t think you would have done, but it’s how Econoline sound.

This E.P includes four annoyingly catchy post-hardcore, nah fuck it, ROCK! epics. Today’s (it does change daily) highlight being second track ‘Topology’, which makes you wanna bounce around in your bedroom whilst screaming and playing air guitar like a madman, unless you’re a cool cat and then you’ll probably tap your feet and nod your head... or something similar.

If you haven’t already got this record add it to your shopping list pronto, every single one of you kids will love this record, if you don’t, I’ll buy it off you.
