Title: Music for hipsters to overhype, then forget about.
Product review: Let's face it; if you're a New York band that's got a woman bassist with a husky voice, singing over deafening guitars, you're going to sound like Sonic Youth, and be compared to them. It's unavoidable. Sadly, what Skeet Ulrich is to Johnny Depp, Blood On The Wall are to Sonic Youth.Too bad. They get off to a good start with "Stoner Jam," which has a "grey fall day in the East Village" vibe. The problem is, nothing else really distinguishes itself.The majority of songs are just short, fast and loud. You can get away with that if you're The Ramones, and pack loads of hooks and melodies on top of all the #$@$-kicking guitars and drums. But there's nothing here to pull you in. It's just "hi, bye" and that's it."Awesomer" is around the same length as a bad TV sitcom. And about as much fun.
