Curmudgeon – Amygdala

June 10, 2013 • IFB Records / Not Normal / Parade of Spectres

Curmudgeon plays a dirty, gritty hybrid of powerviolence and crust punk with some slower, sludgy sections as well. It's no big surprise these days, and there isn't much about it that makes it stick out of the flood of similar modern bands. Granted, they do play well, and the production sounds quite good. There just wasn't a lot that jumped out at me about them.

Amygdala is well-done and fun to listen to, but it's somewhat forgettable. The band shows promise, though; I'd love to see what a full-length from them might be like.
