Editorial Reviews

This is the first release by Kane Hodder. Kane Hodder is a five-piece, sometimes-indie-rock, sometimes-hardcore, band from Western Washington. Kane Hodders energetic live shows have caught the eyes of many in the area and spawned a large following of people who call themselves the Hodder Army. Kane Hodder draws upon influences from both the worlds of music and film. Using this formula, their EP A Frank Exploration of Voyeurism and Violence, uses various films to make analogies for and makes studies of violence, hate, ware-fare, etc., and their place within society, and presenting their own reaction to this as well. This EP was recorded by T. Dallas Reed, formerly of the Treepeople, at Temple Sound over the course of five Days.

To be honest, I don't have the recording listed here. These guys are local to my area, so I bought a copy from their live show on their previous local label, Music Abuse. It doesn't look like they changed anything for this recording, however. This album is a treat These guys know how to flat out ROCK. From the rolling, aggressive drums that open "Aboard the Leper Colony" to the raw metal-guitars of "Simona Checks Betty's Corpse" to the anthematic expansion of "Queen of Suburban Legend" (which is a song of such beauty) this album is a complete package.

Instrumentally speaking, this band has it all. Andy, who handles vocals, has amazing range in that while he has a great screaming voice, he can really sing, too. The guitars are scorching, but the focus of my attention always returns to Charley's drumming chops. The drum sound is EXPLOSIVE on this CD.

These guys have nowhere to go but up. They're back in the studio working on their full length release, and I can't wait. If you get a chance, SEE THESE GUYS LIVE. They rock.

Any bad reviews you read are probably from jealous high school classmates. I haven't heard music this good from a bunch of young musicians since Corrosion of Conformity released "Animosity" back in '86. It is nice and raw, loud, and worth a listen.
