What I
feel like I love most about Sympathetic System is that this sounds like
something that I should be able to place, to pinpoint to someone who has done
this before, yet I simply cannot find the name.
It’s somewhere between Ted Leo, Jay Reatard and GG Allin.
This is
a one man rock band that primarily sings and plays guitar (Though some other
instruments are utilized) and the result is sometimes more of a mess than what
you would think of from the aforementioned Ted Leo.
These
songs were all improvised and recorded in one take, which is something I really
like now, so that makes this all the more better for my ears. There
is feedback, distortion and everything nice like that. The best noted comparisons I could make on
some levels were the Nirvana demos on “With the Lights Out” and a Johnny Cash
drunk dial.
Definitely
an acquired taste, but certainly a good one to have and, yes, the fact that
this is on cassette is the only way to truly experience it.
