Thrilling, temperamental and hypnotic in equal measure, Away Team plays like a combination of ITEM and early The Men: lush meat and potatoes indie rock collides with gnarled garage rock ragers to make a cozy yet subtly unpredictable whole. A tremendously impressive outing.

You boys even listen to Pile? Because this is just a slightly less moody/more guitar driven version of that sound. It is a rollicking good time, though.

Is this 1994? Wow no it's 2020! Shell of a Shell does sound like a typical 90s post-hardcore/emo/indie/noise rock outfit, with every bit of dissonant guitar, pounding rhythmic sessions, and vocals ranging from emotive to enraged. It's exemplary in terms of cathartic rock music, although it sounds more promising than it is actually delivering a work that could be compared to the likes of Slint, Unwound, or Fugazi.

You know, you should write your music in a way that would perfectly utilise your abilities and underline your strengths. Clear enough. You should also perform in a way that fits the theme of your music. Many contemporary indiemo bands write music that is either more ambitious than they are capable of convincingly pull off or is too timid to be memorable, because they think it's what the genre requires. Shell of a Shell learnt to balance their ambition and abilities. They made a tenner of songs (well 9 and an interlude) that is ambitious and fragile, powerful and distressed, and does not see the band miscalculate its limitations.

A forgettably uninspiring attempt to blend American Football & Shellac? Or something?
