“As near as I can tell, this is a reissue of an out of print CD shared by these two groups, one of whom is from Minneapolis, the other of whom I’ve had trouble tracking (but they feel midwestern). Bravo Team actually sound like a decent variation on the standard rabid-foam guitar groups of the Ruthless/Am Rep era, which is something I miss more than I can easily explain. Suffice to say they have a certaiin amount of Killing Joke cunning and a lot of screech around their edges. Artifact Shore are a little tougher to grasp. Their moves are closer to those of their conemporaries in the Michigan noise underground, but they’re nowhere near as harsh as most of those proponents. They pile it up and pile it on, sure, but there’s a sinuousness inside the structures that seems almost psychedelic. Mmmm.”
