RossP Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Small Enclosed AreaApparently, there are two types of bands that come from Scotland -- bands that think it's a 1983 dance party (Franz Ferdinand, for those living under a rock) and bands that want to blast your face in with as many Big Muff pedals as possible (Mogwai, Idlewild). The young upstarts named Small Enclosed Area sit firmly in the brutally-loud-minus-any-hipster-dance-party-swagger category. They take lessons learned from noted masters of dynamics such as Mogwai and Pelican. Loud crashing waves of fuzzed-out guitars cede to gently picked melodies that seem to endlessly swirl around tender vocals vaguely reminiscent of Tool's Maynard Keenan, minus the lyrically absurd obtuseness. ATX Magazine SXSW Edition, Review by Marc Perlman ShutterThe intense progressive leanings of home-grown quartet Shutter perfectly compliment Sacramentos Deftones in advance of their entrance this evening. The up and coming hand-picked act wear the acoustics of the Academy well and produce sufficient goods to whet the appetites of its inhabitants; exciting prospects for Scottish hard rock in the offing.

Chris Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Your new name better be good! I should be able to make it along to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Its triple barrelled like Small Enclosed Area. So far the reactions have gone along the lines of: "Oh why are you changing your name, i really like S.E.A. So what is it then?? Hmm.... yeah, i really like that, suits your sound. It'll take a while to get used to though."Really looking forward to getting peoples reactions from this album, as every song we've played live previously has now been changed for the better, along with some unheard songs that we just cant play live yet due to the amount of different instruments and samples. We'll put some new tracks up on myspace in the next week or so hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
