Fractricide 7 Inch - The Yesmen

Label:007 Records (America)
Released:1999
Tracks:Fractricide
Swept Back


Rating: 5/5

As far as I know, this is the debut release for Melbourne’s Yesmen, whose sound is best described as scorching and non-indulgent ‘Detroit’ rock. Lead by the Capt. Beefheart like vocals of Sean Greenway and the unstoppable Leadfinger on lead guitar this is one stunning piece of vinyl. The band benefits from a great sound, matching a strong bottom end to loud guitars. Although it may take a few spins to get used to Sean Greenways vocal style, it is definitely worth it. Both tracks are extremely strong and it is impossible to pick the better track. I can’t wait to hear their debut album.
