Album Review: Sybris - Into The Trees
By John Michael Cassetta • May 13th, 2008 • Category: Album Review, Music |
Dramatization: Like everyone else I know, I’ve recently been splitting my life between Austin, Texas and the crime-ridden streets of Liberty City. By far, the most compelling part of the game to me is the music; so much work has gone into making the city “come alive” as a community, and the radio stations account for a lot of that. Whether you’re listening to talk radio, the Iggy Pop show, or LCD Soundsystem on Radio Brook, it makes running down hookers and shooting mobsters out the window at high speeds that much more enjoyable. Today, while I was testing the limits of my freshly “acquired” Turismo on the city’s most prominent straightaway/bridge, the Smashing Pumpkin’s “1979″ came blaring onto the radio. And boy does that song take me back. For my generation, those are the classics: 90’s radio-rock. And as much as I love all this “genre defining experimentalism,” I’d really like to find a new band that just plain rocks it like that song did every time I turned on “The Edge.” Oh what’s that Sybris? You’re up to the challenge? Well, by all means then, proceed.
