Nah sorry but Dead Moon don't convince me. Their vocals are bearable at best. It's a shame because some of the more punkish songs like 1-2, 4, 10 and its very cool intro could be really cool if it wenre't for the whiney vocals, which get frankly unbearable on tracks like 3. I only finished this alb because it is relatively short, and I knew it would be the last I see of Dead Moon so I owed them to at least finish this, but if this and the debut LP are their peak per the ratings I don't think I want to hear more. 2.5

Dead Moon are one of the most underrated and overlooked punk bands out there, as their extremely lo-fi mix of garage punk, rock, and blues is one of the most charming and one of the most catchy around. On Unknown Passage, the sound the band established on In The Graveyard makes a return, and it's as memorable and intimate as ever. The singing is surprisingly somehow a strength, as though they are off-key the desired emotion, whether it be sadness, determination, or confidence, just drips of off Fred Cole's voice. Just listen to "I'm Wise", "I Tried", "Dead Moon Night", and "54/40 Or Fight" for some examples of that. The lo-fi production of the album gives the guitar, bass, and drums a gritty sound, matching the aesthetic of the album perfectly. It's really a great work of garage punk, as most of Dead Moon's discography is, so if you're into that type of stuff, one would recommend this in a heartbeat.
