White Suns

***WHITE SUNS is comprised of KEVIN BARRY, DANA MATTHIESSEN and RICK VISSER, who reside in Brooklyn, New York. They have been playing together for four years. They recently supported a small-run cassette release last year (Cavity, Pregnant Records, 2010) with an East Coast tour. The band is now releasing their first LP, Waking In The Reservoir on ugEXPLODE. The music is a pummeling synthesis of electronics-based noise and guitar-driven modernist punk. It will appeal to those already conscious and also those who wish to be ripped from their slumber. This album was recorded in high fidelity by BEN GREENBERG (Zs, Little Women) and mastered by WEASEL WALTER. This album is intelligent, angry, asymmetrical, furious, cacophonous, articulate and unique. "The Brooklyn trio White Suns launch a pummelling sonic blitzkrieg, replete with the clatter of buzz-saw guitars and tumultuous percussion; survivors of their raucous live sets (not to mention this scummy venue [Silent Barn]) should get a medal."—The New Yorker.
