Cocks Arquette/Self Titled/OSCL Records/2012 CD Review


  Cocks  Arquette  are  a  band  from  Australia  that  plays  a  very  heavy  form  of  noise  rock  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  titled  2012  album  which  was  released  by  OSCL  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  are  all  slow  to  mid  paced  noise  rock  riffs  that  are  very  heavy  and  distorted  sounding  along  with  a  great  amount  of  distortion  and  guitar  effects  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  distorted  sounding  noise  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  all  noise  rock  signing,  shouting  and  screaming,  while  the  lyrics  cover  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  dark  and  heavy  sound  with  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Cocks  Arguette  are  a  very  great  sounding  heavy  noise  rock  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Pointlessly  Vindictive"  and  "Then  Leave".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
