Album Review

Initially released as a self-titled EP by the tiny imprint Smallstone in mid-2002, Death Via Satellite finds theSTART regrouped and ready for a new beginning. Signed to Nitro in late 2003, this mini-package doesn't differ from the original except for the foxy artwork. It's a great start for those unfamiliar with the Los Angeles band's intoxicating punky dance sound while also being a must-have for completists. The band's 2001 new wave blast debut, Shakedown!, left fans hungry for more, so this six-song mini-album is a treat. Elements of the Cure and Depeche Mode are obvious throughout, especially on the goth-driven swan song "Trinity." One can notice that the band is sticking with its formulaic dance-punk without getting monotonous. Frontwoman Aimee Echo is vocally sharp and stylish, almost a match for Lene Lovich on tracks like "Death Via Satellite" and the ballsy "Big Shot."

every song is great. the vocals are awesome along with the great beat to every track. lots of energy and power. i love it. the lyrics are intelligent and add something even more beyond the incredible music.
