Alaric Alaric CD

2011 album from the dark '80s-inspired Post Punk band comprised of Bay Area Punk vets from bands like Dead And Gone, Enemies, Cross Stitched Eyes and Noothgrush, Though dark music has seen a resurgence among the indie scene lately, the group stands apart from such trite fashion and lo-fi tinkering, more inspired by and indebted to the sounds of Killing Joke, Rudimentary Peni, Christian Death and the like. The eight tracks on their much-anticipated debut release are all standouts, with 'Eyes', 'Your God' and 'Animal' easy to imagine as being well-received by the more interesting Rock radio stations in 1982 or in 2011.
