Die! Chihuahua Die! Formed in 2007 down in South
Wales, but they are a bit different to most of the
bands coming out of there these days – or
so i'm told.
The opening track, Knifesex, is frantic but retains
some rhythm which is a brilliant combo for any
opening track. With the lyrics “we fuck
destruction”, Die! Chihuahua Die! Begin
the onslaught.
Track 2, Stuck Pig features a nice little bridge
and is overall a good song, perhaps not their
strongest though. I just felt the bridge deserved
a mention.
Cold Caller follows and it's a bit more brutal,
which is what I expected from a band that's graced
the stage with Attack! Vipers!, Rat Attack and
the The Cumshots. The song as a whole sounds like
it'd be brilliant live, perfect for whipping any
friendly crowd into a frenzy.
The single Happy Song is probably my favourite
song on the album. It's catchy, rhythmic and brutal.
Like a more punk-rock Cancer Bats...which is always
a good thing.
Bitch Survive reminds me somewhat of Fucked Up
and I imagine it'd be immense live. Full of brutal
energy, perfect for kicking ass in the pit to!
A solid kick in the face from beginning to end.
The final song on the album Brian Maiden brings
the album to an excellent finish. Slower than
the rest of the album but maintaining the key
sound throughout it's a solid finish.
Overall, despite a perhaps less-than-perfect
beginning it seems that Die! Chihuahua Die! Saved
their best for the last half of the album. I still
go with my gut instinct though that tells me this
is a band that should be heard live first. If
what i've been told is true it's quite a show!
Broken drum kits, flying (and broken) guitars,
blood but lots and lots of good times.
That's what I get about this band - they like
a good time. Something that I fear gets lots amongst
the search for fame and fortune with bands. I'm
also sure this album isn't all they have to offer,
this is definitely a live band.
3/5
