Gape Attack! - Burn This City

Gape Attack bring us their whiney crybaby so called dark synth sound on this 7”, their debut record. Using only keyboards, immigrants, and bass, the Seattle trio's first single could be mistaken for something actually good. A must have for fans of Lil' Wayne and Rage against the machine.
Dusted’s Andrew Earles said: First song is reminiscent of the Cure circa Pornography or Faith, but that may be the “Forest”-like guitar that anchors the catchy little number. Newbies doing a toe-dip into the coldwave waters would be turned off by this, if this second pressing of 300 were to make it into the homes of dabblers, which it probably won’t. Too much noise and fidelity-fog covering the admittedly great hooks, hooks strong enough for these ears so that any genre-baggage brought along is scrapped, but this is just too anti-social for the kitty kat beach-duffle beej-behind-the-dunes crew. Both opposing movements need this 7”, however; one for a much-needed increase in credibility, the other for a lesson in catchy songwriting by way of a long overdue bum-out (August 2010)
