Having talked to Mike Crooker, the guitarist of this band, he describes
Indian Rope Burn in one word, Irony, how aptly put. This release reminds
me of a punky Thrill Kill Kult, with guitars and live drums. They poke
fun of drug usage, sex, the MTV generation while putting out a very good,
clean sounding product. The album liner is covered with bananas wearing
condoms, and graphics of topless women cavorting around. Definitely a
band who knows how to poke fun of themselves and life in general.
My favorite tracks include 'techno-boredom' which includes a background
drumbeat sounding very familiar to the NIN Head Like a Hole backbeat,
although heavily layered. Very good dancy track with Videodrome
samples, and television generation lyrics. I also enjoyed 'crying muscle'
an all spoken word sample track poking fun at television ministries, and
their scam methods. If you like the light to medium guitar industrial
sound, with a slight taste of dance and punk, check out this CD
