Review of the album, "Pressure of Silence" in Baby Sue Review #24
YEAH! You'd think with the incredible amount of stuff musicians have at their fingertips these days that there'd be TONS of original sounding groups, wouldn't you? WRONG. Occasionally a group comes along that really does have its own sound, however, an d Savage Aural Hotbed is one of them. Don't let the name fool you, Savage Aural Hotbed is NOT a rap band. Instead, these folks ae true experimenters... using found objects (among other things) to create a peculiar style of music that I find most intrig uing. It's not ambient, it's not techno, it's not alternative rock... it's something else that I really can't describe. The band's music is based mainly on percussion, which gives it a somewhat tribal feel at times. I don't know how else to describe this, but I'd highly recommend it. It sure made me sit up and take notice... (Rating: 5)
