Negative Scanner have been destroying rooms in Chicago?s vibrant DIY since 2012, earning well-deserved accolades as one of the cities best live bands. Their electrifying debut album finds the band taking on all comers; guitarist/vocalist Rebecca Valeriano-Flores? gutteral howl & lyrics have gained confidence over the course of the band?s previous two singles in 2014 (their debut on Trouble In Mind & it ?s follow-up on Tall Pat Records). The band (guitarist Matt Revers, bassist Nathan Beaudoin & drummer Tom Cassling) have evolved into a lurching, post-punk tornado furiously spinning into near-chaos but never leaving the band?s capable control. The album?s opener ?Ivy League Asshole? sets the tone - feral & ragged guitars chug over the rhythm section & Flores? manic yelp spits out lyrics borne out of confusion, agression, domination & submission to life, living, lovers & beyond. The album?s eleven tracks in 28 minutes fly by the lsitener, threatening whiplash but begging to be replayed. Negative Scanner ?s s/t debut was recorded by the band themselves in their practice space, mixed by Mike Lust ?s Phantom Mobile Unit & mastered by Australian legend Mikey Young (Total Control/Eddy Current Suppression Ring). It is issued on CD & LP (black vinyl) & includes a download code.
