Pulverizing backend and chainsaw guitars encircle the raw, gravelly power of vocals in "Oregon Chem-Trail"/"Plaque Marks," the first offerings from the power trio of Plaque Marks. Merging Mike McGinnis (Fight Amp), Doug Sabolik (Ecstatic Vision), and Patrick Troxell (Creepoid), the group announces its arrival with a primal punch to the gut. Having difficulty jumpstarting your Monday? These songs will abruptly wake you out of that lingering slumber. (Photo by Adam Wallacavage)
