Thanks for the perceptive reviews, Daniel. But I must say, your use of the phrase “slow and sappy” as a negative description convinces me that our taste in music is completely divergent. Give me slow and sappy any day.
@Daniel Villarreal: Damn it, foiled again! If you do a ctrl-click on the link to copy and paste it into your browser, you’ll get to it. It’s truly worth a listen, even if you hate it.
Awful. The band is a lame attempt at Red Crayola or Sonic Youth. When is the “underground: LGBT community going to dig that you can’t get your message across with 8-track recordings made in some lovers loft on a Boss BR-1200. This stuff is aweful. You can’t dance to it. You can’t connect to it. The lyrics are inaudible. This motivates people to click off their iTunes, not click into some new gay movement. Oh, and BTW, you can be a band and be industrial and non-players and still make interesting music. This band, hasn’t gotten it together yet.
@Pete Acton: If Pete’s comments are addressing how the album was made, he’s factually wrong. The fact that he deems music he doesn’t like as made by “non-players” is pretty telling of a regiment(ed/ing) mindset. Sorry to not march to your internalized lockstep!
That aside, we’re going on a tour of the west coast in a month. Check our tour dates here and come see us if you’re so inclined! http://www.myspace.com/gaybeast

By the way, seems like the link to Gay Beast’s eeexxxpppaaannndddiiinnnggg went to the wrong URL. The correct one is here: http://www.culturebully.com/wp.....nnnggg.mp3

I really enjoyed the ‘Cyclops’ cut

Thanks for the reviews!
It’s nice to see a diversification of content on Queerty. We all love the half-naked men, but there is so much more out there…
Kisses from MTL!
Daniel Villarreal: Or use the official mp3 link cleared by the label – http://www.skingraftrecords.com/audio.html
