Being labeled as noiserock can be a bit misleading for these guys, as I've found them, after a few selective listens and seeing this show, as being more a prog-rock band in structure and sound. This is not a bad thing at all, it just can lead to a bit of confusion. As for the show, the band put forth a metric ton of energy, beating the audience relentless and loud for around fifty or so minutes. Playing tracks from last year's "Cry-baby", the band's performance resembled a punked-up version of Adom or Queens of the Stone Age. After my ears stopped ringing, it was obvious that these three Norsemen put on a good show. Keep tabs on them the next time they come to your town.
