On their self-released EP, Under Constant Influence, from 2009 Denver, Colorado’s Esprit De Corps throttles through five songs of abrasive rock that sounds like a cross between The Bronx and fellow Denver natives Planes Mistaken For Stars and Only Thunder). The vocals are generally gruff and shouted but with a hint of melody, the rhythms are thundering, and the guitars are heavy but a little jagged too. It all adds up to a thick soup of post-something goodness that would have been right at home in Chicago during the late 90’s. Esprit De Corps also throws some keyboards into the mix on occasion as well… it’s akin to the cherry on top. Eat up fuckers.
