RUMSFIELD

Rumsfield are articulate and incisive, angry and aggressive, tempered with pain that combine to make this rock so hard it will shatter your crystal delusions into the worthless dust it is, with riff bludgenary at its modern best 'Terrible Times' will hammer home the message, written and performed with truth and belief, Rumsfield are here and now and already a force to be reckoned with, face reality and pick up the mantle because this is where its at. - http://www.rock3.co.uk

Next up, five year veterans Rumsfield irrefutably rock the roof off. Hunkered down over their guitars, Mike Lefort and Eric Turner crank out thick, rhythmic guitar riffs that definitely take the spotlight, but do not overshadow the intensity of singer Dean Scott's world. One moment Dean's looking you deeply in the eyes, the next minute he's lost in a deep-seeded growl errupting into a scream, and later still he's head-banging with the groove of the guitars. Drummer Luke, looking like a true rockstar donning his favourite black mesh shirt, keeps a fast-paced, busy beat to maintain momentum. Rumsfield plays hits off their latest album Terrible Times such as "Escape", "Soapscum" and crowd favourite "Blister", which now finds a happy home on MTV and Much Music. Their stage presence inspires mosh pit action at shows both big and small and their sound never gets stale. - Blog T.O
