For Fans Of: Swing Kids, Jesus Lizard, The Festival Of Dead Deer, Pigeon Religion
This Moment In Black History (TMIBH from here on in) are a quartet from Cleveland, Ohio who've been at it since 2001. Equal parts hardcore and angular 90s noise rock, TMIBH's sound is boisterous, energetic and just a little bit aggressive. Listening to It Takes A Nation... I also picked up some elements of post hardcore, most evident in the guitar work, which occasionally deviates from the usual punk/hardcore power chord progressions and into more dissonant, free form territory. The interesting guitar work is complemented with a steady rhythm section and sporadic squelches, phases and buzzes from a synthesizer. To top it off, front man Chris Kulcsar's almost 'sassy' take on the usual gruff punk vocals recalls a slightly less manic David Yow, with more melody.
It Takes A Nation... is one of those awesome albums that'll appeal to just about anybody into the weirder side of punk It's noisy and aggressive enough to get your attention, and it keeps it with it's experimental tendencies and unusual song structures.
