INNERPARTYSYSTEM - INNERPARTYSYSTEM


(AU magazine September 2008)

(ISLAND/FALLOUT RECORDS)

About as soothing as a brain hemorrhage, Pennsylvania's Innerpartysystem swoop in on their eponymous debut album like Depeche Mode on speed. First single 'Don't Stop' is all 1980s blips and beeps, while new release 'Die Tonight, Live Forever' boasts all the hardcore fervour of a shrewdly electro-aware boy band. Essentially, the record sounds like a distillation of years of hard rock adulation diluted by unfeasibly fast industrial beats. Trent Reznor must be beaming with pride.
