Bad Fate:
Thursday, December 10th, 2009
I’m a sucker for a band that can melt my brain like it was Chernobyl round two. Sure I like most bands I see live and it’s always easy to pick a few things you love and focus in on them, writing a dazzling puff piece about their originality, song structure, cute members and the list goes on and on. However when you see a band and they catch you off guard within the first minute of their set, draw you up to the front and forget everything that was happening prior to this sudden magical moment, thats when you have something special and I’ll say that Bad Fate is beyond just a special band. Having your eardrums beat half to death with overwhelming distortion and feedback hasn’t been this pleasurable since I heard Pere Ubu’s ‘Nonalignment Pact” and the music of Bad Fate isn’t too far off from that. Bad Fate tells me they are embarrassed of their non-existent stage presence, I say who needs it. I would be satisfied if they played these songs sitting down, laying down on a bed under a foot thick comforter. It’s an incredible wall of sound with triple guitar harmonies, furious drumming and perfect vocal accompaniment. I’ll let the music speak for it’s self, I’m done being the obnoxious fan boy for a band ‘so underground it’s Fraggle Rock’ as their myspace will tell you. Please please please check these guys out here and if their playing near you anytime soon, you wont be disappointed.
