Vas Deferens

Over the summer i met a band called Sirs. I had heard of this band before but never thought to much of it, even gave it a listen on myspace i think. It seemed to me there was a bunch of bands coming out of Suny Purchase that barely veered off of Algernon Cadwallader's sound. I was wrong about Sirs. This album if full of life and energy that is much different than Algernon. Sometimes it will play through 3 times in my car before i even realize it's time to change the cd. The way justin screams brings me back to so many bands i used to love and the parts he sings are equally as good. They stick quick transitions and parts that you don't expect or understand. There is even parts that speed up and slow down which i love because of my hate for metronomes. Now, onto Hibernations Sometimes. This song is a little different than the rest of the songs on the album. When i first saw sirs and they put the mic in front of dave benton I did not expect the voice i was about to hear. The only problem i have with this album is the recording of the begining of this song. Something that you won't be able to understand until you see them play live, which probly won't happen because dave has recently left the band to focus on his other project, Spook Houses.
I had a little trouble writing about this album due to my lack of good way to explain things but seriously if you don't have vas deferens, get it and hear the madness.
