When I heard that Idiot Stare
had broken up I was rather disappointed as I really enjoyed their music.
So I was excited to hear that Idiot Stare’s vocalist Chad Bishop was
in a new band entitled Rewire. Unfortunately, this band does
nothing for me. It’s lacking the edge of Idiot Stare.
While this band is an aggressive blend of techno, punk and metal, it just
never sounds that creative or interesting. This is due to the fact that it’s
somewhat experimental with different elements coming and going constantly.
The electronic programming is frantic, guitars thrash, drums slam and vocals
yell. Take these things and throw them all together without any real
structure and you get the music of Rewire. To top it all off, the lyrics
just aren’t that well written. Also, all of the songs tend to sound the same
without a lot of diversity.
I really wanted to like this band and listened to this CD several times
in hopes that it would grow on me. But it just doesn’t work for me.
I feel that there are several other bands, such as Deathline
International for example, that make this same style of music
so much better. Rewire is missing something that prevents them from
sounding stellar.
If you’re a huge fan of heavy guitar driven industrial music, you might want
to check out Rewire for yourself and form your own opinion about their
music.
