Rifle Fire Rifle - The Doppler EffectRifle Fire Rifle - The Doppler Effect

With a rocky Foals meets At The Drive In introduction, The Doppler Effect is a potentially exciting song. It's got a great pace, but then turns into a somewhat rawer sound, similar to that of the latterly mentioned At The Drive In. Not quite what you'd expect from the intro, nor the three well-groomed gents on their MySpace. A harmonica even works its way in there, and despite the fact there's a lot of different things going on, and varying sections and paces, it still works in a strange but charming way.

And it's not a different story with the accompanying tracks “Burn To Exile” and “Rio De Janeiro.” They're all songs that are harder to get into than their fabulous intros would let you believe, but definitely worth a listen. Their MySpace also features another track, and the album's out soon. However, if you don't like any punk music, with it's rough edges and whatnot, then you won't like this.

3.5/5
