The Brains

The Monster Within 

(Cleopatra)



Cleopatra now offers The Brains's 2013 The Monster Within, sporting fresh cover illustration, in both red vinyl and compact disc incarnations. (A digital streaming version can also be secured.) In the Montreal trio's bubbling admixture, Punk swerve and onrushing Psychobilly coalesce. Freefall-into-madness constructions incorporate textural passages so profound as to deeply imprint. That songs rip roadway despite architectural complexity indicates acuity exercises songcraft discretion. 

Recommended: "The Monster Within," "Give It All," "Misery," "The Damned," "Bleed," "Stay Back," "Electric Shock," "Rest In Pieces," "Cucaracha In Leather," "Devil In Disguise," "Rolling Down"

Video: "Misery"
