You can just picture the responses should you collect a group of our more elderly citizens, aged, say, 70+, together and ask them their opinion on this track: "Oh, aren't they noisy!" "Why's he shouting? That's not singing!" "The quiet bit in the middle is all right." All of which could actually be valid points at any age - and are what makes this a winner for us at Little Indie.
'Red Walls' by Zaleski - a grungegaze threesome from from Athens, Ohio - is the lead-off track from a split album featuring their debut EP 'Void' along with Ugly Zoo's self-titled EP, and which is released thru Fleeting Youth Records on July 15 in cassette and digital formats.
When you learn that Zaleski's 'Red Walls' is about someone who wants to kill you but they can't, you can probably guess before even hearing it that it may well be on the fairly loud side. It's certainly heavy duty, nestled under a blanket of fuzz-blown guitars reminiscent of bands like Ovlov and Hum - even a touch of Nirvana - and D.J. Wymer's agonized and raucous wails loaded with emotion - or would it be venom? Either way this is some killer track.
