If you like them, you should like Rolo Tomassi. Have you ever heard of them?
Because Rolo Tomassi are TEN TIMES better
But really, iwrestledabearonce? Grind? Nah...
Like to you being a fan of Rolo Jeff, brilliant band. Should be going to see them next month
And Eva Spence
Rolo Tomassi are mathcore. I had considered seeing them last week in Paris, but due to work overload I abandoned the idea.
iwrestledabearonce are grindcore blended with pop and mathcore. The girl growls the way grindcorer growl. And she sings the way grindcorer can't sing.
Grindcore isn't about the vocals. It's about the messiness, the energy and in a nutshell, it's basically unpolished extreme metal. iwrestledabearonce don't fit this criteria enough to be called grind. it's hard to say what grind really is, it's just easier to feel it, and when you compare them to bands mentioned above (like Agoraphobic Nosebleed), I couldn't even consider them part grind. Same with Rolo Tomassi for that matter, they're more hardcore punk than grind.
And who says "grindcorers" can't sing?
Check out 3:34, awesome. By the way this song is underrated and monumental, listen, seriously.
REadlly didn't liked this album by them. Too much cliping. I guess they were trying to be as loud as possible, but that just went straight downhill in this case. Their next album, Anomalities, however, is quite good.
