The Big Takeover #60 - May 2007

STNNNG - "Fake Fake"

As the lock-step rhythm section of bassist Jesse Kwakenat and drummer J. Michael Ward propel the dual Captain Beefheart guitar squawks of Adam Burt and Nathan Nelson, vocalist Chris Besinger rants and raves like the lunatic love-child of The Fall's Mark E. Smith and Steve Albini. Through 10 songs that feel more like 10 rounds in a ring with Muhammad Ali, these Minneapolis, MN, madmen hover between Shellac geometry and Rye Coalition algebra. If Euclid had a Punk band, it would be STNNNG!
