EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: DON THE READER – “TEETHGRINDER”
Monday, August 25th, 2008 at 1:31pm by Vince Neilstein
Here’s a fucking fresh new band for ya’ll to check out. Despite their puzzling name, Don the Reader are the explosive result of what happens when you mix the dissonant, raw energy of The Dillinger Escape Plan with the aggression and riffage of the Deftones and the post-punk melodic sensibility of Helmet or Quicksand. The LA-based band have a new album called Humanesque available on October 7th via Deathcote Records — and we have the exclusive leak of their song “Teethgrinder.” Enjoy it below, and send out to the masses.

as long as we’re talking about what’s in the mix, don’t forget the fashion style of Avril Lavigne’s backup band too…

I dig it. I have a soft spot for the dissonant sound

Sounds to me like Rollins Band (the older version, not the last two albums) and NYHC had a bastard child. The dischordance in the music is classic Rollins, and it’s all just so… “IN YOUR FACE, FUCKER!!! I’M HERE!!! DEAL WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Me likey alot!
Not my bag.
Don the Reader owns all
This band was great back when they were called Botch
