Disengage	81 out of 100, Tack Maeda / BURRN! March 04 issue -- The sound style is basically updated US mainstream heavy rock, however they have succeeded in emphasizing their own hardcore influenced straight ahead aggression and it is so great... I must say it is really impressive when I can hear the contrast of high tensioned extreme sound and dark melancholic melody. [ 1 Song ] [ 1 Concert ]

The Doggers	Alternative / Garage / Blues [ 1 Concert ] [ 1 Photo ]
Don Caballero	Don Caballero is essentially from Pittsburgh. You got it, three rivers. Don Caballero II, their second for Touch and Go, was recorded by producer Al Sutton at White Room Studios in Detroit. It was actually in a white room. Their first LP, For Respect, was recorded in Chicago by Steve Albini. Yeah, Don Caballero is instrumental, what's it to ya? Most don't realise that fact until they're told. They have been since their inception in 1991. Their first two singles were as a trio! Yeah, you're sayin' "instrumental." Well not on this album. They are more rock orientated than jazz, though many have said the contrary. The drums are the lead, while the guitars drive the beast. Emphasis on structure and composition, not to prove how accomplished they are, but to kick it. Don Caballero bare all their yellowed teeth, including fangs, on this one. Put it in, keep it in, and for chrissakes, turn it up NOW! [ 1 Concert ] [ 1 Photo ]
