Now you have to love a good temper tantrum. Think about it they come in various degrees, strains, veins, type, and prototypes and often can’t be repeated or duplicated with ease. Mind you the Japanese probably could create a cloned version of a particular temper tantrum, as they seem to excel at flesh reverie.
Okay, back to the tantrum. They usually escalate at times when one thinks they have your attention. Ignore them and they may get quiet only to hit new proportions when you bat and innocent eyelash wayward. Tantrums can involve violence so proceed with caution. They paint a wide insight into the psyche of the individual or the conglomerate mass.
Now, what the fuck am I spewing?
Hailing from the Motor City- SSM is comprised of members of prominent Detroit bands such as The Hentchmen, The Paybacks, The Sights and The Cyril Lords. To describe this current trio as a garage band would be to serve them with an unjust sentence. To describe them as a temper tantrum of various degrees would probably be more accurate.
SSM have created a sound that could merely be described as original, challenging and fresh. It is obvious that their creative output comes from deep within their souls. As a collective unit they have nothing to prove to anyone and it shows that their love for different genres and arrangements leads to deviceful product.
Adding Art-rock, garage and chaos to the mixture has spurned a cd that would rival any terrorist bomb. KaBOoM!
Liquid ecstasy banged into the bloodstream makes for a high of such bombastic proportions that this trio may have created their own genre. Filled with analog keyboards, rhythm machines and sonic body strapped bombs. Controlled chaos bitten by the gods of art rock and pumped for a wall of sound.
PS: From the cover I thought I had received a Budgie LP!
