Browsing ‘Distro Releases’
i imagine in the beginning when The United Sons of Toil came together they weren’t such an angry group of guys. Jamming in the spirit of Touch & Go/AmRep and just embracing loud rock in general. But as time passed something, maybe an overall distrust with the government or the political weather in Wisconsin, gradually drove the band to the point where they are today with their third album When the Revolution Comes, Everything Will be Beautiful. A furious aggression of political statements that are brought forth in the manner of broken and occasional melodic noise along with Russell Hall’s wild range of vocals. Granted, there were traces of such action amongst the groups last album, however it was nowhere close to being this direct in it’s theme and yet probably not nearly as diverse musically as When the Revolution… turns out to be. Songs here ride waves of fervor that happen upon elements of punk/noise/sludge what have you. Like I mentioned, a far cry from the bands past. Really enjoy the packaging for this one as well, as it comes on a limited edition red vinyl along with a 10+ page booklet giving a some background and in depth looks to the the individual songs. Pretty rad.
