EAST TRADING WANG „“Favela, Yayo, Caipirinha””

Music: Alternative Rock/Punk
Website: http://www.estonianmetal.com/bands/etw
Country: Estonia
Cool songs: Seven Days

The band was formed in 1997 and since then they have been giving gigs in some bigger or smaller cities, with different luck. The aggressive punk rock they play is quite in demand, because people in Estonia actually buy the,. What is more, one of their songs, ‘Worm’ featured in ‘Little Nicky’, a film by NewLineCinema.

Honestly, or to be frank, it is really difficult to define this music, which circles somewhere around the areas of hard rock, punk, and some nu-metal stuff. On one hand the compositions are quite varied, on the other, the ideas repeat too often therefore the energy is lost. ‘Seven Days’ is the best composition on this album, it is more dynamic, but still lacks in power, there is no aggression, which the guys introduced. But still, it is nice, because finally i had a chance to hear some music, as the rest is monotonous and dull, and quite uninteresting. And the last thing: the drummer does a tremendous work here, the fills are in their places and give some rawer power to the whole.

I was nearly bored to death while listening to this album, i was glad, that it is short and i did not have to came across more of this. If you are a rebellious teenager, you may find it interesting, otherwise, do not even bother.
