We previewed a single the latest from Tower Defense about this time last month, at the time calling it "Devo with a short circuit." Those frantic late-70’s new wave leanings that drew us initially are present throughout the whole EP, giving an urgency to the whole affair. It’s remarkably robotic, in the most enjoyable way. Even the guitars are fuzzed out to the point that they sound less like stringed instruments and more like you’re being admonished for entering the wrong password on some kind of outdated terminal.
See Tower Defense at the 5 Spot this Saturday (03.26) with garage punkers Vamptones and human safety hazards Hans Condor. –Austin Phy
