Git Some

Cosmic Rock

BY Ty TrumbullPublished Nov 18, 2008

Let’s get this out of the way: members of Git Some cut their teeth in the venerable Planes Mistaken for Stars, which is pretty neat but kind of besides the point. The songs here move through the speakers in an abrasive yet strangely listenable manner. Angular guitars attack your ears unrelentingly but carry with them a definite sense of melody that, while aggressive as shit, will still get stuck in your head, most notable on "Trixie Loves Misty.” The band recall Black Flag at their most intense — think "Black Coffee” played three times as fast — where punishing drums push the songs forward and impassioned howls sit on top of the music, making the band sound like the perfect soundtrack for a nervous breakdown.
