Young Widows CD Review

Artist:Young Widows
Title: Old Wounds
Label: Temporary Residence

Review:
Once in a while there is a time when most music that is out on the shelves is sounding all the same. It only takes a few great bands to break through this sound-alike sea. That’s where Young Widows come in. On their release Old Wounds, Young Widows prove that there is still good distorted rock music coming from the non-metal/hard rock camp. Their sound is very dissident and textured. Tracks such as Mr. No Harm, 21st Century Invention have a dissident and foreboding mood that makes the listener feel creepy and uneasy. While tracks such as Lucky Hardheaded, Delay Your Pressure, Feelers express real angst and anger. If this is a sign of things to come, then Young Widows are on the right track.
