+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| Purity Pledge is Todd's full length debut and their first release |
| for Southern. It kicks ass. Somehow, the band's incredible onstage |
| verve and energy is captured and nailed into a forty minute-long |
| assault on the senses. Todd are fuelled by more than the desire to |
| act deranged and play powerchords - there's a restless intelligence |
| at work, shown in the black humour forcefully delivered in those |
| lyrics: "I write about prostitutes, drug-addicts, alcoholics, |
| wife-beaters, all the typical rock 'n' roll shit... I don't know why |
| I write about that stuff, just dark lyrics to suit the dark music, I |
| guess. I'm not saying anything about myself, these are all |
| characters." - Craig Clouse. |
| |
| A whole range of influences can be picked out in the righteous wall |
| of distortion. They owe a debt to Black Sabbath, but what decent |
| rock band worth listening to doesn't? The thrift-store keyboards |
| played by Clouse's wife Fifi and singer/percussionist Emmylou |
| Sunshine, deliver the same relentless unease that you get from the |
| first Suicide album. The no-wave, hardcore Jesus Lizard and |
| Killdozer influences punch through in the menacing and insistent |
| churning of John Webb and Craig Clouse's guitars. Drummer Francis |
| Axe Handel binds the outfit tightly together. |
