Artist description Fishing in the North Pole, these creatures of the nile were found hurting the brains of humans at the speed of sound. If you listen carefully sometimes you can hear the mother of these talented creatures squealing in the background from the pain of amazement. Although these creatures have yet to be sign to a record label, it is a for seen future upon these lads as they battle the people of the United States in a war of: "I'm gonna hurt you with this riff". As for a desciption you might say that it is a well organized chaos of sounds placed into the earth at 1130 feet per second.

Press Reviews REVIEW #1: I didn't know what to think when first listening to this cd. I had never heard anything like it in my life. Then again, I havn't heard much "mathrock" but I'm assuming that this is what is. All I know is that Weak Music For Thomas (WMFT) plays a fast, upbeat postrock with electronic elements. The music is harsh without being hardcore and the song titles, well... they are just incredibly wierd. "Answering Machinehead" starts the cd off. This is definitely a good start. The music is fast and the vocals are yelling. This song is extremely catchy, although I'm not really sure what this song is supposed to mean. All I know is that I've been walking around school singing, "One times two times three times four equals twenty four, twenty four, twenty four!" The rest of the tracks are all in the same vein. Some tracks have movie, tv, and other various audio clips in them. On the song, "Song Of Songs Verse Four", there are two men talking about a computer named hal. What it has to do with the song's lyrics (which happen to be bible verses), I don't know. It's still pretty damn cool though. The track that stands out the most on this cd and also happens to be my favorite is track number four, which is entitled, "A Message To Cricket In Alphabetical Order Minus L." The song begins with a happy-sounding guitar riff and drums. Some freaky synths come in along with some "freaky" vocals. I don't know if freaky is the best word to describe them. I do know the vocalist sounds like someone that would do the voice of "Barney, The Purple Dinosaur" or something. There is also some guest vocals on this song by someone named, Terry Thornton. The guest vocals are probably what make this song my favorite. Terry pukes forth these insane screams that just about cut me in half. After the screamy vocals, some pretty guitar comes in which is then followed by some not-so-pretty guitars. It then returns to the pretty guitars again and ends. I really don't know what to say about this cd. It's definitely original and it's definitely amazing. It's been in my cd player for days and I have a hard time taking it out... IT'S JUST SO DAMN GOOD! It's a must have cd, for sure. Everyone out there who is sick of cliche, indie rock, needs to purchase this cd. It is sure to make your tongue drop to the floor. I think that some hardcore kiddies may even dig it. It's kind-of got this hardcore sound without sounding anything like hardcore. I'm sure that made no sense at all but at least I know what I'm talking about. You're just going to have to listen to them to see what I mean. Oh, and make sure you buy "the fire" and not their older cd. This cd is 5,000,000,000,000,000 times better. So what are you waiting for? GET OFF MY FRIGGIN WEBSITE and go to their's. Overall Rating: A+ -the wake of jade web zine: http://www.wakeofjade.cjb.net REVIEW #2: was reading Interview Magazine recently, and a thought occurred to me. “If Elton John, as hip (?!?) as he is, gets his own four pages to wax ecstatic about his new find in popular music, why shouldn’t I, the resident art-fag, do the same for MontgomerySucks.com?” I swear it sounded just like that in my head! So, I’ll start this column off with my two cents about one of our local treasures, Weak Music For Thomas. “The Fire” is their second release in two years, and a vast improvement overall from their debut, “Poor Man, Rich Heart”. From the moment that ‘answering machinehead’ kicks into gear, WM4T starts the process of layering ideas upon one another until the ugliest and most beautiful elements make for a nice sonic and thematic soup. I hear traces of Killing Joke, Devo, Dillinger Escape Plan, Uz Jsme Doma, Dead Kennedys, Swans and the list goes on, but even without namedropping or cross-referencing just to validify this band’s worth, their album stands on it’s own, track to track. And as much as I admire Brian Carroll’s own work (the one-man space-pop juggernaut that is Windsor Bellephone), his contributions to “The Fire” are always tasteful and in the case of the build-ups in ‘with a donkey’s jawbone’ and ‘shell traumatic stress shock’, are as important as the rest of those same songs, putting a whole new spin on just how his pop sensibilities and Brandon Marvin’s avant-garde can actually augment each other’s existence. Sorry, I have no interview with the brains behind this operation. But I highly recommend catching Weak Music For Thomas at Head On The Door this Friday (14 Mar.), as they put on one hell of a live show. Maybe you can get these shy boys to speak then. My hats off to any unit of working musicians that can pull off such ambitious arrangements, but even more so for the fact that they rock harder than any “progressive” or “aggro” act than I’ve seen or heard in a long time. As to whether or not they’ll “make it” out of Montgomery, with the climate being what it is in the entertainment industry, who knows if they even want to. But I’d like to think that will all they have to offer, both on tape and on stage, that they could have the world eating out of the palm of their hands simply by wishing it to be so. Bravo!!!
