Press Reviews Twelve StitchesThe Return Of Industrial? Twelve Stitches is an up and coming industrial band from Chicago. They’re breaking into a scene that has all but been abandoned by the music industry. NiN and Trent Reznor popularized industrial music, and after NiN sales began to slump the industry began focusing more on pop acts, and all but turned a cold shoulder to industrial. But now, with the advent of the Internet and companies like MP3.com, artists can sell their work whether labels deem it commercially viable or not. Twelve Stitches has three tracks available, two of which this review is concentrated on – “Where Are You?” and “Rotten”. The first track here is “Where Are You?” It has a sliver of OLD, OLD NiN in it, but it’s mostly in the background. Unlike Trent Reznor’s screaming high vocals, Twelve Stitches has more of a demonic, deep vocal tone. But it interfaces nicely with the music, which has a dark mood to it. The beat will keep you shaking your head, whether you understand the words or not. The drumming and effects are also done very nicely. Although the really deep bass does drown out the effects every now and then, making the lyrics harder to understand. The other track, “Rotten”, again captures the feeling of Where Are You?’s vocal style. The drums are more prominent here than in WAY, the effects are in the background and work well in establishing the tone. The spinning wheel in the background (? that’s the sound I hear) makes me think of bad things. I keep trying t to think about The Price Is Right, but yet the melodic devilishness of the music drives those thoughts away. Pound for pound, if you like Industrial music, you’ll love these guys. If you just love music, give it a spin too. The beat is addictive, and it’s hard not to tap your toe or shake your head. The vocals are kind of hard to understand, but it’s part of setting up the mood of the song – and they work better in that sense. Flat out, these guys sound evil – and this is damn good music that record companies isn’t really into anymore. -Matt Maurer. CEO of Head-Fones.com
