The USA is a Monster – Tasheyana Compost

Load Records

review by Hammock:

There is no place that USA is a Monster can not take the listener. This heavy handed two piece hails from the Brooklyn of New York has pushed the heavy rock environment to a new level with the Tasheyana Compost album. They play amazingly well together as they cross
the tight drum and guitar riffs of early Jesus Lizard with those of Melt Banana and everything in between. They had the guts to make a heart stopping musical rendition of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce 1877 surrender speech, "No More Forever". They pull it off in such a way that makes me believe USA is a Monster really means it. The next track, "Screaming Bloody Murder", exists only to solidify that fact with guitar riffs that might make Buzz Ozborne wish he had practiced a little bit longer. The vocal style is a mix of spoken and sung loudly which allows them to have some folk-type moments. Two thumbs up!
