SHOW REVIEW



Excerpt from The Hartford Advocate review of If I Had Eyes:

"If I Had Eyes are the musical equivalent of the guy who took a hammer to Michelangelos Pietà: theyre iconoclastic spazzes who envision destruction as a creative act. They headlined a huge bill of hardcore and metal at The Oxbow Café, which is emerging as Hartfords most promising venue for underground rock outside of The Webster. They blasted open their set with an homage to the Dillinger Escape Plan of yesteryear -- which is to say their lead singer spit fire. The parallel is no coincidence. If I Had Eyes are the states best tech-metal band next to Shroud of Turin .



Musically, their songs do little to meet the listener halfway. Only the most rabid metalheads will be able to decipher their knots and angles, let alone enjoy them. But just because If I Had Eyes are alienating, doesnt mean theyre self-indulgent. Guitarist Gregg Schmitt and bassist Ren lean back against each other in a fit of showmanship. Singer Ryan LaCoss stalks across the entire dancefloor, pulling random members of the audience into orbit. They may be technically proficient, but they dont want you to lean back with your arms crossed and ¨appreciate;¨ they want you to spazz out with them." (By Dan Barry on 6/8/06)
