Band: Storm Kills 4 Location: Lima, OH Album: Dead In Ohio Genre: Alternative / Garage Rock Track Picks: “Shit Ya Don’t Need,” “Goldfish" Lowdown: From the album design to lyrics and the overall sound, this four member band is proudly represented by independence. Instead of receiving the typical professionally typed letter packaged with the album, we received a hand- written short band bio. The album cover itself is hand-drawn and features sketches of the characters and rebellious lyrical ideals of capitalism, government, religion, marijuana, media, police force and jobs sung throughout the band’s second full- length album. A strong representative of the grunge era with an “anti” punk scene attitude. Most tracks initiate with a guitar riff (some blues with call-and-response, some rock with slowed down Dick Dale effects) and others with styled jazzy walking bass riffs reminiscent of Primus. Nine tracks that will prime you to question authority with humorous narrative lyrics, and backing music that will allow you to appreciate the opportunities found in diverse experimental music.
