What can I say abut Rebuild/Repair that I haven't said about a dozen other local bands, or mentioned in person, on FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc, etc... They truly are the embodiment of post-stoner sludge rock for the current crop of local bands. They pick up where Flipper, Jesus Lizard, Down, all left off. They are like a crazed combination of the Melvins & the Circle Jerks, a true sludgy band that rips.
Relics is the second EP release for Rebuild/Repair, and honestly outshines Summary quite a bit, but even then, only on the production side of things. Relics presents us with five new songs to ad to the `ol music collection, and songs that had a bit more time to breathe and develop live before finding their way onto the magnetic ones and zeros of a hard drive somewhere. Some of the previous "rushed" charm of the band has faded, but it has been replaced with thundering bass lines, harder drums, and a front man who is getting a little more accustomed to people really enjoying what he is doing.
5 songs, 5 dirges, 5 tracks that any bowl session now require playing in the background.
