Roomrunner - Super Vague (Fan Death) [yes face/positive review]
I wish the 90s had been as good as the stuff coming out of the 90s revival. I was there, and the 90s were a cultural shitshow. You had four years of Nirvana and then a million years of the bands they influenced, which meant Nickelback. You know who has a Kurt Cobain tattoo? Fred Durst. That’s what Nirvana wrought in the 90s. Why did it take so long for their influence to produce good music?

Many hearts were broken last year when Baltimore’s favorite post-hardcore trio, Double Dagger, announced that they were packing it in after a solid decade of music that was both confrontational and intelligent. But our pain has been eased by the emergence of Roomrunner, led by former DD drummer Denny Bowen and currently making the kind of fuzzy, noisy, melodic yet chaotic grunge rock that will make Nirvana fans very, very happy. They’ve already released two EPs — Super Vague and Roomrunner – and we’re very much looking forward to a full album.
