UNIFORM review in MRR

Issue #338 July '11 of MRR:

SIDETRACKED - "Uniform" EP

"Thinking back to the time when my record purchases were based primarily on how many songs a band could cram onto an EP, this SIDETRACKED record would have been at the top of my list. A thirteen song one-sided single screams powerviolence, and SIDETRACKED deliver the goods with start/stop madness and bursts of chaos tempered with brief but crushing slow riffs before launching back into head spinning riff after riff and a drummer that seems to not have a handle on "appropriate boundaries" and just goes fukkn' apeshit from start to finish. Completely manic and ADD, but in the best possible way- SIDETRACKED has written songs , and even when they are thirteen seconds long, you have a chance to get into them. And please believe that I got into them. If you like fast and you like power, then you like this. Do it.

MRR Top Ten of 2010

I saw this mentioned in issue 344 of MRR regarding the top ten lists of 2010

HUMMINGBIRD OF DEATH/SIDETRACKED split 6" (Cowabunga)

"This long awaited split is actually a 6" but I'm putting it on my 7" list. Both bands play rad fastcore but I'm a little biased toward the SIDETRACKED side. Hardcore dudes playing powerviolence often ends up done badly but this band is the exception."


Thanks to Brad Lambert for the kind words!
