No Secrets Between Sailors - Self Titled Demo

This sounds good. Like, professionally recorded good and good music wise good. Real energetic, schizophrenic, melodic Alternative music akin to such bands as The Refused, Mars Volta or maybe even At The Drive In. Not exactly Punk, per se, not exactly Alternative, but not bad either. This stuff is infectious, like a case of chlamydia at any Beauty Bar type establishment in Anytown, USA. I was pleasantly surprised at hearing this. The guitar work is bright and wiry, vocals are a little lazy / whiny, but it somehow works for the music being played. The drummer is a creative fuck too. Some great drum lines going on here. This band hails from Portland. I don't remember how I got this CD, but I'd be interested in hearing some more from this band. It's not boring, that's for sure. Check out No Secrets Between Sailors if you're so inclined. Who knows? You might like it. And how bad would that be, huh?
