when dinosaurs ruled the earth - snacks

Texas noise scuz band with an interest in high volume, repetitive riffs, beer, marijuana, delay pedals, and Sunn Beta Series amps.

------------------------------------

 "Made up of members of Austin bands Tuxedo Killers and Awesome Cool Dudes, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth are a sevenpiece outfit (sporting two singers, two guitars, two drummers, and bass) who debut here with a 26 minute mini-album of goofy, heavy, progressive sludgepop that flies all over the map, splattering their songs with gobs of feedback and freaked heavy riffage.

'Glee Club' starts the disc off with the band doing a bit of lo-fi Polyphinic Spree choir singing, and then lurches into a 7 track weirdo feast of together gooey sludgemetal riffs, skronky no-wave freakouts, random noise, and jittery indie rock, a monstrous dayglo hallucination mashing together the epileptic spazz punk of bands like XBXRX and Blood Brothers with the tarpit heaviness of Flipper and Melvins while dual vocalists Li'l Dino G and Li'l Dino J spit out bizarre streams of consciousness and incomprehensible screams.

The last track 'Bananafana' is an especially skull-stomping dronesludge freakout that sounds like Sleep getting stuck in a locked groove for 12 minutes." -- crucial blast
