Editorial Reviews

The three members of Young Widows emerged from the dissolution of Breather Resist with a new vision steeped in dark, brooding grooves and moody post-punk. From the reverb-drenched inspiration of Regulator Watts/Hoover to the bass and drums lock-groove perfected by Shellac and The Jesus Lizard, Young Widows gladly wear influences on their sleeve. The signature inventive guitar work is at its peak here, while the rhythm section lays down syrup-thick grooves, recalling The Melvins, Karp, and Nirvana as well as British post-punk a la Gang Of Four. Eleven songs of hypnotic, heavy, noise-rock anthems.

5.0 out of 5 stars buy it now, November 20, 2006

this is super aggressive, meaty, loud, pounding sonic annihilation based on heavy drumming heavily distorted bass, and chunky/and at times angular guitars. Reminds me of jesus lizard, shellac, and few other touch and go and dischord acts of the 90's. This is some serious stuff. brutal record of the year from a brand new band. Stand out's include tracks 1,2,5,7,8,9. this is serious.

3.0 out of 5 stars Young Widows - 'Settle Down City' (Jade Tree), July 20, 2008

Power trio from Louisville, Kentucky. This appears to be their first {so far} CD. Best described as post-punk. Tunes I found to be the most inspiring were the title track "Settle Down City", "The Charmers", the aggressive "Mirror F**ker" and "We Didn't Know". Didn't exactly knock me out, you understand it's JUST that this genre of music has been done over so numerous times before. Line-up: Evan Patterson-guitar & vocals, Nick Thieneman-bass & vocals and Geoff Paton-drums. Might appeal to fans of Black Cross, The Melvins, Gang Of Four and Refused.

It's about time. If your a Jesus Lizard fan then thank these Young Widows for spilling your insides out. I'm curious to see if these guys can keep it up. It's flesh off the bone. Give a lick.
