[WILD] Chris Hill reviews Stereomud and Saliva
According to a variety of signs and people, Stereomud and Saliva were two separate entities, but having seen and heard both of them, I was not convinced, therefore I will review both of their sets as one. I can sum up their music in one word: hideous. Just downtune your guitar about 3 half-steps, turn up the bass until your room is shaking, and then slam the guitar repeatedly against a desk and you will get the basic effect of any of their songs, all of which sounded identical. In the words of Dawn Drexler: "Crap, crap, and more crap". I couldn't understand any of their lyrics, but the lead singer's voice was very deep and sounded like he was telling me to do satanic things. I think they were trying to steal my soul through their music, which fortunately was so bad that it didn't work. Their image and style also left much to be desired. How much longer will tattoos and pierced lips mean an automatic record contract? Unfortunately the popularity of Limp Bizkit and Korn has spawned numerous copycats, and I think its safe to lump both of these bands into that category. Soon the trend will be over, and the hardcore teen masses will move on to some other style of music to typify their tragic suburban lives, but until then we are stuck with the likes of Stereomud and Saliva. I award them no stars.
Chris Hill is a junior in the Washington University school of Engineering and Applied Science. Someday he aspires to be a tattooed, body-pierced musician with a record contract just like the artists reviewed here. This is his first -273 guest post.
