#2464 Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime

Seemingly (corrections welcome!) patient zero on this kind of knotted, frantic, yelping prog-punk, spawning everything from Dismemberment Plan (prettier) to Giddy Motors (heavier). Mission of Burma and other 80's (post?) punks were there, but this is another level of schizophrenia, that head-down start-stop perfection grinding against headless emo barking. Exciting, admirable, mostly unlistenable 3.5/5
