Pissed Jeans Whip Up a Romanticized Entanglement

It's no mean feat being able to turn noise rock into something where one can follow the logic without being caught up in the sonic fog, Allentown, PA's pride and joy Pissed Jeans pull this off with one of the tracks from their "Honeys" album, "Romanticize Me" Bradley Fry's menacing rumble on guitar stares you down. You're waist deep in red alert mode. Vocalist Matt Korvette defends his laziness as being "laid back". He's not shy about turning a negative trait into something that would almost be seen as an asset. Sean McGunness is a ballsy force behind the drum kit. That's impressive given this track doesn't even clock in at 2 and a half minutes long. Randy Huth deepens the sea of organized pandemonium with bass playing that not only asserts his presence but allows Matt's verbal jousting to more often than not hit its intended target. If you want a sound not treading the time and sales-worn path, Pissed Jeans can offer a strangely captivating opening view through the jagged looking glass.
