This was something I came across a little while back and was too busy to really check out (this year has been rough). Triclops'
first full length decimates your stereo and/or computer speakers with a cache of intense, hard driving, sometimes trippy,
almost post HC punk with noise rock and psychedelic woven in. They manage to turn punk rock expectations on their head with
a fusion of almost explosive guitars and creative songcraft that tells of the torture of an Iraqi museum curator, the class
divide, cultural arrogance etc. This album is a journey that's highly energetic, sometimes disconcerting, but continues to
push things forward throughout. I now wish that 'd heard of Triclops sooner. Definitely check this out. (BOONE)
