Customer Reviews
And The Critics Say...
"Deep Elm has done it. They've put out a split with Red Animal War and Slowride that blows the Alkaline Trio / Hot Water Music ep out of the water. Doing it the right way by allowing each band to build off of the others songs, the record starts out with Red Animal War who showcases their ability to write a strong lyrical song as well as implementing some very interesting music. Next up is Slowride with the Jesus Candle which starts out with some driving guitars and then turns into one of the better melodic punk / indie rock songs I have heard in a long while. Filled with dark and catchy lyrics, this release is definitely one to check out, as it draws a picture that the hardcore kid can relate to but is catchy enough for those who enjoy the poppier side of punk rock." - Poptart "Wow. I haven't been this impressed by a split like the Red Animal War / Slowride EP for a long time. Red Animal War pride themselves on being very technical with their music. They remind me of Braid and Fugazi with many different time signatures and songs that are always unpredictable. Slowride on the other hand is influenced by pop, punk and sometimes even hardcore. They are reminiscent of Jawbreaker, both with their rhythms and structured songs. The band has lots of energy and aggression that will please everyone. All the songs by Red Animal War and Slowride sound fantastic. If you love Deep Elm, go get this now!" - United Front "On this split, Red Animal War go through a remarkable progression with three new songs (maybe their best so far) while Slowride stick to the concept that made their debut so charming and enjoyable. Red Animal War kick things off, preserving a deep, technical approach, but now they're working with clearer structures. Describing their songs is not easy, as they're so multi-layered, so rich with different perspectives. They never reveal too much; they need to be discovered with patience. Still, they're hard-hitting as ever. Meanwhile, Slowride specialize in emotional rock, which includes powerful guitars, catchy melodies and charismatic vocals. To sum it up, this release is for those who can't get enough of Slowride's full length and it marks Red Animal War's progression of becoming one of the most interesting and original bands on Deep Elm, as well as in the whole genre." - Enough "This EP from Red Animal War and Slowride has renewed my faith in the genre. Both bands use catchy and crunchy hooks and heart-on-sleeve lyrics. Slowride's lyrics in particular are especially blunt, and their relentless energy breathes new life into music that would otherwise sound trite. Red Animal War, however, steals the show. Their use of a wider arrangement of textural synths and an occasional keyboard adds depth, and their thoughtful lyrics venture far beyond broken hearts. The opener, 77, is especially memorable. I simply found it cool to hear a serious punk song with a verse about the Yankees winning the pennant. In the end, there's no denying that this EP is chock-full of emotive pop-punk goodness; enough to restore the hopes of anyone who thought that pop-punk goodness no longer existed." - Splendid "Both bands on this split between Red Animal War and Slowride sound unique, melodic and at their best, because both bands do their job damn well. Red Animal War starts, and it is quite clear that they are talented musicians. The songs are built with difficult, technical structures, the instruments are played with power and they put unexpected elements in each track. Slowride play rock music with a different attitude. They have youth's passion and they play fast, loud and in your face. They are aggressive, energetic and at the same time melodic with a lot of catchy harmonies and smooth vocals. Slowride impressed me because of their energy and aggression, while Red Animal War because of their style and uniqueness. I think that both bands should be kept under lock and key by Deep Elm, because I am sure that some major label will ask to put out their records." - Truepunk
half good, half not so good
the red animal war songs on this album are amazing. they fit into the whole mid to late 90's emo diaries deep elm sound, but they also break the mold by adding interesting rythym choices and a more modern rock (shudder...but it works) feel to their songs. the slowride stuff on the other hand is less enjoyable. the singers voice is very annoying and the songs are somewhat boring. but, i have friends who LOVE the slowride songs as well, so it may be that you love it all. DEFINITELY purchase the RAW songs. i dunno about the SR stuff. give it a try, i suppose.
Excellent
The Red Animal War song 77 is absolutely amazing. While Slowride's Jesus Candle is an incredibally catchy tune, they definately have better material that the other two songs on this disc. I highly recomend "As I Survive the Suicide Bomber". Probably one of the best albums Deep Elm has ever released.
