[ 2001-2004 ]
Careening through explosions, intricacies
and unpredictable twists and turns, Arcata, California's NAP ATTACK
created their own instrumental brand of "un-rock." The
trio, featuring a lead bassist and rhythm guitarist, created a braided
path of pummelling staccato and ultra-melodic passages. Complex,
interesting guitar and bass work complements the erratic and precise
drums, often experimenting with peculiar tempos and phase shift
ideas earlier explored by avant-garde composers such as Philip Glass
and Steve Reich.
Don't let their name fool you, either. Barely into their twenties,
NAP ATTACK's powerful, high-energy shows and unique labyrinthine
assault garnered heavy praise and led to performances with national
stalwarts the Mercury Program, Maserati, Caesura, Six Parts Seven,
Volta Do Mar, Town & Country, Mates of State, the Building Press,
the Intima, Oma Yang, Kill Me Tomorrow, and Roots of Orchis.
So take some caffeine pills and fall off the tire swing! This is
rock that finds unexpected ways to be beautiful.
