Soup Moat/Enjoy Your Hobbies/Triple Eye Industries/2015 7 Inch Review


  Soup  Moat  are  a  band  from  Wisconsin  that  plays  a  mixture  of  sludge  and  noise  which  they  call  party  sludge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2015  7  inch  "Enjoy  Your  Hobbies"  which  will  be  released  in March  by  Triple  Eye  Industries.

  A  very  powerful  bass  guitar  sound  starts  off  the  ep  along  with  some  psychedelic  elements  and  when  the  music  gets  heavy  they  bring  in  the  heaviness  of  sludge  along  with the  energy  of   punk  and  you  can  hear  some  noise  rock  elements  in  the  more  heavy  and  aggressive  side  of  the  vocals  which  also  use  clean  singing  at  times.

  Elements  of  noise  can  be  heard  in  certain  sections  of  the  recording  and  some  of  the  tracks  also  speed  up  at  time s and  bring  in  a  crust  influence  and  blast  beats  and  as  the  ep  progresses  the  songs  start  bringing  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  a  great  amount  of  early  80's  hardcore  punk  elements  and  when  leads  are  utilized  briefly  they  also  bring  in  a  touch  of  70's  classic  rock.

  Soap  Moat  creates  a  musical  style  that  combines  the  heaviness  of  sludge,  the  distortion  of  noise,  the  energy  of  punk  rock  and  mixes  it  in  with  a  touch  of  psychedelia  and  the  melody  of  garage  rock  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  the  production  sound s very  raw  yet  heavy  at  the  same  time  while  the  lyrics  cover  real  life  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Soap  Moat  are  a  very  great  sounding  party  sludge  band  and  if  you  are  looking  for  something  very  original,  you  should  check  out  this  7  inch.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Uptowner  Girl"  and  "Envelope".  8  out  of  10.
