Closing In
Matador
INDIE
> INTRODUCING EARLY MAN: the latest signing to MATADOR RECORDS, home to INTERPOL, CAT POWER, SPOON, YO LA TENGO and others.
> THE BACKGROUND: Two Pentecostalists from Columbus, shielded from pop culture their entire lives, discover rock at the age of 19. Kicked out by their families and ostracised by the population, their adopted kin are the works of JUDAS PRIEST, CELTIC FROST, MERCYFUL FATE, MINOR THREAT, DIAMOND HEAD, MOTORHEAD, and HEAD OF DAVID. Nurtured and warmed, they move to New York City and start a band whose elemental street thrash recalls a time before metal splintered into 54 microcategories.
> It\'s like the 80\'s and 90\'s never happened for these long hairs who live in a world where SABBATH are king
> These guys are into their gear: MIKE CONTE alternates between two old guitars that feed through 2 full stacks. He occasionally uses a distortion pedal, but in general, he remarks, \"All my distortion is natural as it should be. I do not use ANY alternate tunings. If it can sound thunderous in standard tuning then I\'ve accomplished my goal.\". ADAM BENNATI plays a 500 pound fivepiece glass acrylic drum kit manufactured in 1972. Heavy
> THE STRANGE \"The guitarist/barefoot drummer duo go straight for early heavymetal muscle, riding back to capture early Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden in sinewy tracks with no pointyheaded noodling.\"
