On their new record, Houston’s Fight Pretty spits out firebombs of dense and chaotic metalcore that takes many cues from the likes of Converge and other of that ilk. Somehow (however) the band manages to throw a little bit of rock & roll swagger and Blood Brothers-esque spastic art-punk convulsions into the mix as well.
Rewiring The Human Body is a raucous ride that probably left the band bloodied & bruised after the one-day recording session that birthed the record. Sure, it could be more polished and more precise, but it is that rawness captured straight to tape that sounds just like a lion and a rhino battling to the death. Plus, how can you not love lines like, “…and all this Whiskeytown is only making me sadder.”
Rewiring The Human Body is out now on Dwell Records and would probably make a great Christmas gift for your dad.
