Description/Reviews
...these guys have drawn a lot of comparisons to Between the Buried and Me and I’m not entirely sure that’s fair on either band. Not that either band is bad (I assure you, they are not), but more due the stylistic difference. Apart form the fact that the musicianship is technical and the vocals are screamed, TRCC and BTBAM are about as different as a giraffe and a sunflower. While BTABAM are very avant-garde and highly reliant on samples, synthesisers and electronic wizardry, TRCC are far more direct in their approach. I’m not saying that they don’t use electronic tricks, I’m just saying that, rather than having a synthesiser and extensive samples, Primitives is an album that comprises almost exclusively of five dudes, a couple of guitars, a bass and a drum kit. In a scene where every band is just drowning everything in dubstep and calling it a day, listening to such a meticulously and lovingly crafted record is a breath of fresh air. Dare I say it, but I like this album more than I like any of the BTBAM records.
