The Way To Function: An attempted assassination of a senator leads the hero to a mysterious nightclub.

HINTS is Myke Pelly out of Haunted Horses' exit-project, making a smooth detour into noise-punk with fast drumming and mechanical samples looped through a Line6-DL4. HINTS streaks the percussive detritus with eerie, twisted bursts of treated sound that will haunt your dreams just in time for Halloween.

All of this apologetic wrist wringing of the vocals is extremely lame. They are awesome. That said, I am a fan of Unsane, Drive Like Jehu, Barkmarket, and Big Black. Strong release. Brien Hindman
Being BEATEN, BEATEN and, ah-ah, BEEEEEATEN by rusty metal pipes and not falling into a coma! And i still want more! This LP is a sublime blend of noise rock and industrial where each song ends up as danceable neurosis. You can say that it's like the last Daughters album combined with Kill The Thrill, but it doesn't even comes close to being that amplified by such a cathartic intensity. Symbolic ‡ Tentacles
