HEALTH

"Get Color"
Requested by Baby Daddy


HEALTH is a noise rock band consisting of four members including Benjamin Jared Miller, Jake Duzsik, John Famiglietti, and Jupiter Keyes. All are from different cities including Seattle, San Diego, and their current home base, Los Angeles.
Let's just say noise rock isn't what I expected. I was like lolwut on the first track going into this. As I progressed further some of it sounded familiar to an artist named Bang Gang (whom I favor). It was really different, nothing I heard before and I enjoyed it quite a bit. You can't really describe the type of music, and it is definitely original as the last.fm wiki dictates. It found home on my iPod, too. :D

Okay starting with track 1 (In Heat), I was literally 'OH GOD, HOW AM I GOING TO LIVE THROUGH THIS'. Then "Die Slow" plays, then I go ' whoa, whoa...This is badass.' The music creates a tone, the beats just want you to make you do something; I was about to headbang. The vocals vary for me, some songs could do without them, then some sounds like a heavenly angelic choir. And the drums...Ohhhhhh, the drums. "Nice Girl"'s drumming were absolutely fantastic. They had a junglish vibe, like you were being chased in a sense. When listening to the CD, you sail through great track to great track until you hit the road block "Eat Flesh" .

What a journey, I survived. For me, this is the kind of music you play with you're amps and subwoofs in your car, windows rolled down , sitting at a red light, blasting this music. Yeahhhhhh, I know what I'm gonna do today.

Thanks Shiro.
