BATON ROUGE - Totem CD D-Beat

BATON ROUGE - Totem CD D-Beat4 5 of Daitro started a new band a couple years ago and what we got is Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge plays great melodic emo rock mixed w a raw noisy edge like Unwound meets a little Hot Snakes and Twelve Hour Turn. These 9 new songs are even more catchy then on the one before so it was worth waiting two years. This record has potential to be a timeless classic.

took a turn towards goth-inflected post-punk

and imbued their particular brand of rock with a heavy dose of the best of 1970’s rock aesthetics

by 1983 they had disbanded

It was like digging through a treasure chest

But here all sounds come from the virtual instrument once created by Ólafur Arnalds

and to allow for error to enter the process

till the recording of the Shock Therapy demo tape

and the unsettling realities of maintaining that love

dreckig und true bis an die Knochen

remaining the record to generate the most fan reviews and site discussion there this year
