Youngstown, Ohio noise rock / sludge metal band Rebreather creates punishing, tenacious, and metallic music that seethes and breathes. The group once called its sound "cave pop" and while its clamorous caterwaul calls for comparison to scene luminaries like Unsane, Melvins, and Flipper, don't assume don’t for one moment that theirs is a sound you’ve heard over and over. On April 2, Rebreather will release the new EP, '"Pets" / "Orange Crush"', as part of Aqualamb Records' COVID Cover Series; the two track tumult featuring the trio's sludged-up and spaced-out takes on Porno for Pyros' hit "Pets" and the REM classic "Orange Crush".
It's not often I find music that really moves me. And rocks. I'm in awe of Lo-Pan's style. It just flat out rocks. I really dig Chris' riffs, and Jeff's vocals elevate it to a spiritual experience. You can tell they're doing it like they friggin' mean it. I love it. Thunderbug Punch

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
