Abandoned Pools - Armed to the Teeth

Featuring holdover drummer Bryan Head (Black Lab) and guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme (Jimmy Chamberlain Complex), the band's songs include 'Armed to the Teeth', about 'The Way People Wield Their Ower By How They Consume and Spend Their Money', whose slashing guitars and dance rhythms evoke the likes of U2 and Joy Division. 'Sooner or Later' suggests a world on the edge of destruction, it's layers of sound easing towards apocalypse. Album tracks 'The Catalyst' (I wish I could say something beautiful/To make you fall in love again') and the Coldplay jangle of 'Waiting to Panic' (I'm thinking/My head is exploding) both deal with the regret in the aftermath of a relationship gone awry. Universal. 2005.
