Built on a Weak Spot

Windpipe is technically the first official release from the Brooklyn trio Stay Fucked. After participating in a split release with Archaeopteryx and self-releasing a couple of CD-R only EP’s the California based Unfun Records has stepped up and will be putting out this fine three song EP this Tuesday.

I became familiar with Stay Fucked right around the time of their split with Archaeopteryx and was pretty impressed by the few songs I was able to hear during that period. Living in the Midwest it’s hard not to be completely into the bands sound, which draws influences from some of the Midwest’s finest early 90’s math-rock groups like Dazzling Killmen or Craw. The three songs contained on Windpipe are an excellent display of what Stay Fucked are capable of and if that doesn’t do enough for you, then the band has taken it upon themselves to include three equally excellent live videos that in my opinion are quite possibly the best thing about this EP since I am fairly far away from New York and as far as I know the band has only been here in the Midwest once prior to this release. So yeah, seeing the live videos is an extra treat for someone like me, maybe not so much to those that are lucky enough to make it out to shows quite often. Either way, the music should easily be enough to knock someone’s ass on the floor as this is math-rock with an extra emphasis on the “rock” part of the label. At just three songs, it leaves me conjuring up ideas as just how piercing and intense a full-length album of cuts like these would be. I do hope something like that eventually happens because with the band playing riffs that fly out like a barrage of stray deadly bullets it’s pretty easy to get excited about the potential of it.
