Division of Planes
















Here's a thought to ponder. Did the word angular stop being used to describe post-punk guitars because it became cliche, or was it because no one played angular guitars any more? Yeah, I know, angular is the least descriptive words available in the rock and roll lexicon, but humor me here, and think about it. When was the last time you came across a band that did justice to the legacy of Jawbox or Fugazi. I'll offer one up. Division of Planes. They've got everything a jaded fan of nineties post-punk could ever want -- the (ick) angular rhythms, delicate interplay between the rock trinity of guitar, bass, and drums, and solid melodies hiding behind the spit, swagger, and sweat.

I love these guys. Too bad I'm going to be out of town for the show. They've got another tune called Ghost available for DL on their site.
