WHOARFROST

Press about Whoarfrost:
"This is one of those amazing records that kind of just makes you sit back and go, What?Whoarfrost's debut full-length feels so much like a controlled landslide.there isn't much else like it at all."
Baltimore City Paper Review: http://citypaper.com/music/whoarfrost-em-whoarfrost-em-1.1119115



'As a debut, Whoarfrost have already tackled many of the detriments that seem customary for new bands: an unparalleled sound, skillful interaction, and well-traveled concepts. Fevered and abstruse yet orchestrated and perceptive, the band remains impervious to sloppiness even at their most strident."

"The self-titled Engine Studios CD by Baltimore's Whoarfrost is hands-down one of the most intense albums we've heard this year. It lays free-jazz energy over a post-hardcore template—as though a Dischord Records outfit like Void or Hoover were being forcibly sucked through an ESP-Disk wormhole."

"I imagine from the length and nature of most of their songs that they are masters of timing, who can improvise noise stretches in the middle of songs, then pull them back together for planned closings. Either way, whatever they were doing worked! I found their playing very exciting,"

As a debut, Whoarfrost have already tackled many of the detriments that seem customary for new bands: an unparalleled sound, skillful interaction, and well-traveled concepts. Fevered and abstruse yet orchestrated and perceptive, the band remains impervious to sloppiness even at their most strident. In a year where the supply of noise rock seems rather scarce, it's only necessary for a band like Whoarfrost to make their appearance and fill that void.

This Baltimore trio of "noise / freejazz / freakout" enthusiasts seem to be playing live for the duration of this recording. it's enthusiastically technical and tightly played. The meshing of drums, guitars, bass and vocals is quite seamless – there's nothing that rubs up against anything that creates the tensions you'd expect from "free" jazz. These chaps have worked hard together, and musically it shows.

You know when you hear the opening track, "The Young Are Sniffing Waste," that Whoarfrost (Engine 038) is not a typical power trio by all counts. They thrash, they put on a punk attitude, they exude a tremendous amount of energy. all this is true. But there is something else in there.
