Directly following the release of their 2008 debut Great White Whale, Secret and Whisper was faced with the issue of sounding too similar to contemporaries such as Saosin. The release of their 2010 effort Teenage Fantasy saw them heading in a slightly more original and experimental direction. After the band's break up, Shreddy Krueger formed from the ashes, bearing the same burden that Secret and Whisper started off with. Shreddy Krueger ends up sounding far too similar to bands such as Of Machines and does little to add to the somewhat forgotten trend of post-hardcore their ancestors have sketched for them. Also, the songs tend to drag a bit, which is unfortunate for a batch of only six songs. If only the music stood out as much as their name...
