NIGHT PORTRAITS

But hey hey what’s this? A bit of raucous punk rock action? We are changing our minds already! There are spidery guitar Flecks and rabble-rousing overly-dramatic vocals and even some electronic intermissions and it all sounds like a cross between The stooges , New model army and The dead Kennedys , but really not like any of those. More like something violently ripped from the footnotes of the early 80s alternative rock underground. The clench-teethed sincerity of it all, added to the meaty metallic riffage, wins us over every time - NIGHTSHIFT MUSIC MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2008

Night Portraits follow, changing the mood from sophisticated whimsy to intense noise-making. If you close your eyes, it’s hard to believe that there are only two guitars being played. They make heavy use of feedback and guitar effects to sound like much more than a three-piece. …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are obviously an influence, along with The Fall.
