Rescue/Grayson Split 7" Forge Again Records sean@invisibleyouth.com This split was released for the Rescue/Grayson summer tour. Detroit's Rescue features ex-members of Mycomplex, known for their appearance on a popular Weezer tribute. Grayson has many studio recordings to be released soon after this split. Rescue's "101" is our only given example of the band's technical post-emo rock, which definitely sounds hard to play. After the intro, the snakelike lead guitar zigzags over, in, and through the first main riff's rhythm in a way that defines the song without sacrificing any precious melody in its technical striving. Various start-and-stop drum patterns follow beforewe hit the roaring climax. The vocals are rather interesting and serve mainly to secure the melody in the presence of experimental rhythm parts. Grayson's guitars seem to follow an on/off pattern over the plain, but poppy drumming. The chords serve to ground the vocals on "These are Spirit Fingers" while all we really notice is the impact of the guitars. Grayson has undergone changes in the technical direction since this recording, so perhaps the upcoming work will be worth hearing.
