You need JavaScript enabled to view it The Dammitheads Release Second LP,The Heart of the Matador Underdog rockers, The Dammitheads, do well by DIY with a superbly well crafted second release entitled, The Heart of the Matador. The Heart of the Matador shows the band confidently stretching out in terms of both musical fortitude and studio savvy. Analogously speaking, if Freeze (the bands debut release) were Alexanders outnumbered Macedonian army assembling on the plains of Gaugamela to assess a strategic plan of attack, then The Heart of the Matador is most assuredly the undaunted charge into battle that brought historic victory over the ample armies of King Darius III. Sweeping historic metaphors aside, the pertinent words here are rock and roll. The sound is unapologetically thick and bleeding. The keen sense of almost poetic lyrical imagery, delivered with a healthy dose of old school swagger is enough to inspire even the most jaded of fists back into the air. All of the elements here integrate seamlessly, almost to the point of begging the question, Is The Heart of the Matador a songwriters record cleverly masquerading as a brazen collection of swaggering rockers or is it a rockers record masquerading artfully as a shrewdly constructed songwriters opus, coyly impinging on concept album territory? The knowing is in the listening and the believing is in the knowing. The Heart of the Matador was conceived and recorded at the bands own Hey! Low Sound System and mixed by the inimitable Joel Hamilton at Studio G, Brooklyn. The Heart of the Matador will be available for purchase October 25th 2005.

His voice sounds like a mix of everything good about early DAVID BOWIE and MICK JAGGER. Toss a little SPOON into the mix (that nice smoker's rasp) and you get a singer that demands respect. He sounds like the overconfident guy at the bar that I always would have liked to punch except for the fact that I was too busy thinking how damn cool he was. ---South of Mainstream "...a little garage, a little barroom, a little 70s-inspired Rolling Stones-esque inspiration...guitar-driven, attitude-infused rock the way it's meant to be done " ---Delusions of Adequacy Jeff "...startling, fresh and edgy with superb song craftsmanship." ---Smother.net "Between the wiry beats and his smoke em up raspy voice, you can tell hes not really trying to impress or appeal to anyone in particular, but he manages to do so quite well." ---Bettawreckonize Brandy Voiles ### Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites          Add your comment
