Visual Learner - punky indie rock from south mpls. Tour kickoff show!Laugh Track - Noisy Twin Cities hardcore/punk rock
Orchid Club - The Minneapolis group's debut EP bursts onto the scene with a fully formed and -realized vision, dabbling in a lovingly oldschool and timeless set of flashbacks to the more left-field staples of '80s-'90s US postcore and -punk. Lap It Up kicks things off with some kind of '90s AmRep-meets-Touch&Go pastiche, then suddenly develops into more of a Dischord-like soundscape most reminiscent of Rites Of Spring and early Nation Of Ulysses. In Untitled / Back Inside, the likes of Mission Of Burma, Wipers, Moving Targets and Volcano Suns loom large in addition to some overtones of Bitch Magnet… before eventually seguing into some Angst- and Dinosaur Jr.-esque folk-ish strumming. Freak Disease then gets wedged inbetween grungy '90s alternative- or even outright cock rock territory and some postcore flourishes you rather might expect at the slow end of the Drive Like Jehu, Jawbox or '90s Gray Matter spectrum. Life Takes Time then has more of that distinct Burma vibe but i also can't help but be reminded of Really Red and Saccharine Trust.
