The Party of Helicopters
Состав: Ryan Brannon-bass Joe Dennis-vocals Cory Race-drums Jamie Stillman-guitar Jon Finley-Drums Ссылки: myspace lastfm.ru interview Биография: Цитата:
Скрытый текстYou’ve had it with this “new rock” thing by now, haven’t you? I mean, you were probably getting sick of it eight months ago but now, sifting through an endless stack of Next Big Things while that tragic genius from The Vines is trying so desperately to Get Free from MTV, you’ve had about all the stunt casting and empty signifiers you can handle. So, faint critic, take heart. the party of helicopters are not from Sweden. They are not huge in the UK. Nowhere in this biography will you see the party of helicopters compared to Gang of Four or Television or PiL. the party of helicopters do not wear ties when they play. the party of helicopters do not even own ties.the party of helicopters are, however, an insanely good rock band - a big tangle of knotted-up guitar riffs,thundering percussion, saw-toothed fuzz bass, and vocal melodies that dart and dive and wander like a hobo. Their music being frustration, aimlessness, disappointment, and raw hope coming out as pure solid riffing and apocalyptic rhythms. It’s so invigorating and original that their 2000 release Mt. Forever was named one of Spin’s Top 20 records of that year.Since forming in 1995 in Kent, Ohio, the party of helicopters has been confounding rock scribes and audiences alike who sometimes get perplexed by the mélange of styles being hurled at them. Their audiences are often split with a perceptible rift between the stoned metal heads, the drunk art rock types and the wide-eyed emo boys and girls. Such has been the case over the course of the last seven years, ten releases, ten tours and two drummers (original drummer Jon Finley left the band in 2000 “to play the guitar and keyboards in his bedroom 24 hours a day”). The stylistic range can somewhat be explained by part of the PoH’s rock pedigree. While still in high school,guitarist Jamie Stillman drummed and toured with legendary art-core band Harriett the Spy, and vocalist Joe Dennis and original drummer John Finley played guitar and bass in the shoegaze outfit The Man I fell In Love With. The collision of influences and styles can lazily be likened to The Fucking Champs getting it on with My Bloody Valentine.Please Believe It propels the PoH even further into chaos. The album opener “The Good Punk” starts with Dennis stating “this ain’t punk rock enough for my ears” then proceeds to churn through the next six (!!) minutes dissecting the musical ethics of the new American indie rocker. Cerebral! “Cover Me” (track 3) is a traffic stopper - tornado riffs corkscrew ceaselessly, upending the melody line and filling the song with furious momentum propelled even further forward (and laterally) by Corey Race’s impossibly “keeps you guessing” drumming. It’s like Yngwie Malmstein trying to play along to Big Black, all of heavy metal’s guilty pleasures battling Dischord’s punk rock puritanism. Even when the PoH tries to play it relatively straight, as they do in the aching pop song “Neverending Cycle” (track 8) the edges are serrated and the tempo is bratty and fitful. “The Toucher” (track 5) is an extremely angular ditty about mustaches with a chorus featuring some wickedly fucked up fuzz bass by “bass guitarist” Ryan Brannon.If you’ve got to file this anywhere, file it with your SST Records, right between Double Nickels on the Dime and You’re Living All Over Me. They are not the sound of yesterday, nor are they a spit-shined nostalgia act or a by-thebook exercise in genre. the PoH are pioneering their own niche. It’s called JesusFuckingChrist,TheseGuysRock-Core.
[свернуть] Скрытый текст“…something wholly original: hard-rock impressionism.” - Spin.com “With their menacing leads softened by post-psychedelic pop vocals, Party of Helicopters could play to a legion of jeans-jacket touting Venom fans or saggy-pants wearing Deftones fanatics. ‘Just As Astral’ even cops a bit of Kiss's ‘Detroit Rock City.’” - Creative Loafing “Crunchtastic Kent, Ohio, four-piece The Party of Helicopters mows down a bunch of disparate influences -- from space rock to metal to ear-splitting punk -- and pops them into an industrial strength chopper.” - Philadelphia City Paper “I'm sorry, folks, but I just can't get excited about the clean, catchy perfection of Green Day's new hooks when convention-bending shit like The Party of Helicopters' is coming to town. Marrying metal riffage to dream-pop vocals and obscure poetics.” - Weekly Planet, Tampa “The Party of Helicopters, as befits any band with such an abstract moniker, do sort of emo, towards the hardcore end of the spectrum, but not too far. More post hardcore really, as it's cleverly structured and chaotic.” - Collective Zine UK “…a great, big dangerous tangle of guitar riffs, urgent vocals and sinister melodies, with enough fire, gusto and malice to inspire anyone over 22 to revisit their copy of Green Mind.” - Philadelphia Weekly [свернуть] Дискография: Скрытый текстIn Ano split 7”-1996 Demo-1996 Fairy god fighters 7” self-titled -1996 v/a: is the human heart so selfish? a benefit for foood not bombs- 1997 песня-there's a bomb in my food Underground Asian Movement split 7” «four tales of bloody horror» -1997 записи есть на Abracadaver(1997) Abracadaver lp/cd-1997 Party Of Helicopters / Harriet The Spy – split-1998 Gun court singles series 7”-1999 S Process split 7”-1998 v/a: [technology] a compilation of remixes skyscraper magazine-2000 песни circling the drain и lost in the desert Mt.
