{"product_id":"self-made-mess","title":"Self-Made Mess","description":"Recording information: Mona Lisa's Morganville, NJ.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: Erik Zimmerman.\u003cbr\u003eUnknown Contributor Roles: Josh English; Will Bartlett; James Bransford.\u003cbr\u003eThough few outside of Boston know it, that city has a rich tradition in great, gripping post-punk. Though the recent reissues of two of the scene's founding artists, La Peste and Mission of Burma, should enlighten some, it's the post-hardcore bands who sprung up around them, from Proletariat to (later) Sorry, who come to mind listening to this taut Beantown trio. Great singer Josh English has a voice as thick and raw as the Clash's Joe Strummer; Black Flag's second singer, Ron Reyes; Scream's Pete Stahl; and Fugazi's duo of Guy Picciotto and Ian MacKaye, and at times his voice is so raw as he scream\/shouts\/seethes\/gurgles, it seems as if he's losing it. Behind this howling mad dog is a well-produced sound that takes in hints of the Ruts by way of Fugazi's jerky-rhythm mastery and the quiet, simmering undercurrent of held-back rage that is this genre at its stripped down best. Far from a mess, Six Going on Seven is a pretty impressive sturm and clang. ~ Jack Rabid","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915091497247,"sku":"639111100226","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/eca76ebd6f3481c9327dc88f3fb6c25d.jpg?v=1777966957","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/self-made-mess","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
