Quintaine Americana – Needles
The album Needles by the Boston based Quintaine Americana is one of those mid nineties noise-rock gems that often goes overlooked. Copies are probably sadly gathering dust in cut out bins across the nation, which is really a shame because this album definitely deserves better. The band throughout the years eventually became known for their very Southern influenced sound that of course fit perfectly with the already raucous alcohol fueled sound of noise-rock being played at the time. Singer Rob Dixon is originally from Mississippi, which serves as a primary influence into the bands overall swampy and dark sound. It’s really an interesting combination that works quite well for them.
Most of the music and lyrics revolve around a sort of feeling of depression and frustration. Dixon’s vocal delivery is downtrodden and slurred, which fits perfectly with the ongoing mood of the album. There is just a lot to like about this album, especially for those that are big fans of heavy bass driven noise-rock in the area of The Jesus Lizard. I honestly think those of you out there will really enjoy this if you already haven’t heard it before.

The band has put out three other full-lengths to date, as well an EP in between those. I definitely recommend checking out their second album Decade of the Brain as well. Both of those albums can be had over at Amazon used for a penny plus shipping, so you can’t really go wrong with that.
