PATROL / Destinations
STIFF SLACK/STSL-21 CD
'06 07.23 発売
定価 1890円 (税抜 1800円)
独自の音楽性とパッションがひしめき合った、エモやポストハードコアなどの括りも曖昧な90年代中期～後期、今でもなお絶大な支持を受けるバンド、例えばJAWBOX, SHINER, HUM, FAILURE, GIANTS CHAIR, MINERALなどこれらのバンド同様に独自の世界観を持っていたシアトルの"ROADSIDE MNUMENT"！TOOTH AND NAILから3枚のアルバム(J RobbinsやBob Westonがプロデュース)、そしてEMO前夜祭とでもいえるCRANK!からリリースされた名コンピ"(Don't Forget To) Breathe"にも参加、ヘビーに唸らすグルーブにマスロック的トリッキーなギターリフでシーンに旋風を巻き起こした。98年に惜しくも解散(*02～03年に一時的な再結成あり)。
そして長い沈黙を破り、フロントマン(Vo&Gr)であったDoug Lorigが新バンド"PATROL"を始動させ、デビューアルバム"Destinations"をSTIFF SLACKからリリース。シアトルコネクションでもあるex-BUILDING PRESS(54º 40' Or Fight!リリース)のEric Jungle(Dr)も参加！
これは2006年の作品か？！と思わせる90年代型エモグランジ！ダウンチューニングで歪みを効かせる2本のギターリフ、腰を据えた図太いリズムとベース、そしてDougの素晴らしいボーカリゼーションはオリジネーターの強みを感じさせ、その揺るぎ無きサウンドはROADSIDE MONUMENTを継承、そしてQUICKSAND, JAWBOX, SHINER, BARKMARKET, FAILURE, SWERVEDRIVER等とも共鳴。90年代の素晴らしきバンドの再評価を促すと同時に、この手のサウンドの復建を呼び起こす起爆剤になりかねない作品に仕上がっています。録音はex-MINUS THE BEARでISIS, MASTODON, MINUS THE BEAR, BOTCH,THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES, PEARL JAM等を手掛ける職人"Matt Bayles"によるもの！USでのリリースは現在決まっていませんが、STIFF SLACK盤にはボーナストラックとして１曲多く収録しています(全10曲)。

BIOGRAPHY
Patrol was formed in the Summer of 2003 with the core membership of Doug Lorig (Roadside Monument, Raft of Dead Monkeys) on guitar/vocals and Eric Junge (The Building Press, Vermilion) holding down duties behind the drum kit. After a year of grueling rehearsal, the final line-up was solidified with the additions of Jake Reisenbichler (Black Eagle) on bass and Skippy King (Not My Son, Tigernaut) on guitar.
During 2004-05 the band honed its own brand of heavy rock, playing shows in and around the Seattle area and cutting an initial demo with Ben Verellen (Harkonen, These Arms Are Snakes, Roy). Originally the recordings were to be released as an EP, but those plans were scrapped. Still, the band moved forward, eventually settling down long enough to record a full-length album.
With the completion of their debut album Destinations, Patrol emerges fully formed, completely devoid of the over-eager idol worship that usually scars a young band. The album is a clear statement of purpose by a band that has sharpened its sound to a deadly point. This is Patrol's vision of rock music; heavy and loud but retaining the rhythmic complexity of the member's earlier bands through passages that kick like a drum pedal to the back of the head. From the seesaw grind of "The Arraignment" to the slow brooding "Our Compromise" Patrol show a balance in their craft. While the tempos on the album shift, the band remains in control of their sound. The guitars hack, slash and crunch their way throughout the album's ten tracks, driving and molding the melodies with shocking precision. All the while, pummeling drums and bass create an uneasy rumble, like something big, black and dense swirling above the huge spacey riffs and emotive howls. This is hard rock, both new and pure.
Destinations was put to tape in late 2005 by esteemed producer Matt Bayles who's past production work includes such bands as Isis, Mastodon, Murder City Devils and Minus the Bear. The album is to be released in Japan by Stiff Slack in the summer of 2006.
