Open Your Ears Wk 28



Dead Letter Circus - Big

Bris-Vegas quartet fall heavily into the Hard Alt Rock catagory, fitting in perfectly with current popular Aussie acts like Karnivool, The Butterfly Effect and Cog. The great thing about these types of acts is they can appeal to a variety of listeners. At face value you can jump around, bang your head and generally rock out but to the musically finicky there are subtle technical skills at hand. Crazy ass drumming which is only there if you pay attention to how good it is, otherwise it just fits the rhythm perfectly. They are a heavy sounding band but with the falsetto style vocals it takes the edge off of the music, no screeeeaaaaaaaaaaming and grunting going on here.

Big is the first single off their debut album

Their latest single is called One Step, very into the high speed camera work

get it on!

Comments working again ;)

I've been listening to this since it came out, like it. All the songs sound the same though, not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

so good for a 40 minute song but not good for 12 x 3 minute tracks?

No, not good for 40 mins.

Works best in a rotation with other bands.
