No

 

Artist: Bodyface
Label: Jawbreaker
RRP: £13.99
Release Date: 15 June 2015


Bodyface is an alt-rock trio emerging from New York. The band release their sophomore album, No, Mastered by Tommy Uzo (Wu-Tang Clan, Field Mob, Michael Jackson), a diverse listen spanning a number of influences blending a cacophony of noise rock, raw punk-rock and lo-fi grunge...

For those who like grungy rock, with a hint of punk, No serves it up on a platter. The album kicks off on the right note with 'The Razor', an old skool rock anthem style track.

There are plenty of other highlights over the course of this album's 11 tracks (32 min, 42 sec) including the trippy, mellow 'Operator'; the thrashy, heavy pounding 'It's Hard To Be Yourself (When No One Likes You)'; the laid back 'Despair'; the catchy title track 'No'; and the lovingly craft rock-anthem cliched sound of 'MRI' which is very Nirvana-esque in its execution.

This is a rock album that will appeal to both old time rocker as well as the younger generation. There's plenty here to enjoy. Good luck trying to track the album down, though. It doesn't appear to be available from any online stores and the band's official website hasn't been updated since 2014.
