With a rancorous eruption from Lansing, MI comes The Jackpine Snag. This year they released their third EP, "Bark Of The Monarch", full of rhythm-heavy noise rock that doesn't shy away from some bluesy twang or hard rock friction. As you listen, you'll be thrown around on rocky rapids of sound as the music fights to push you from one direction to the next with sudden shifts and abrasive turns. At first, the vocals come across clear, sharp, and strong over the violent rivers of distorted guitar running underneath it, but eventually they take a few dips into the discordant waters and the angry shouts start to blend in with the rest of the band. There are a lot of little pieces and parts of different genres that influence the band's style, but with a light dusting of chaos everything comes together in a satisfying way. It's only about 15 minutes long, so give it a quick chance and let yourself get swept up in the sound. -Brandon
