What does the name mean? I dunno. What I do know is that these guys have produced the best noise-rock release of 2010 with their debut EP, Forget English. And they’re giving it away for free. Absolutely diriculous!!! Get it here.
Featuring two members of heavy-as-a-heavy-thing posse The Minor Times, Ladder Devils bring to mind what’s now being coined the Kentucky sound with Young Widows being an obvious comparison. However, this four-piece are furrowing their own path with a fearsome two-pronged vocal attack and an off kilter quality to their sound, plus a determination to make each track distinctive in its own right. Hence, beyond noise-rock comparisons, ‘Pyramid’ brings to mind Antenna-era Cave In, while the intro to the brilliant ‘Common Dogs’ channels Tacoma’s much lamented pioneers Botch. Captivating from start to finish, this is the kind of release that will still sound fresh a decade on.
