Out On A Limb - Drowned LP - Red Vinyl (/100)

Taken By Surprise (2011)

Out On A Limb hail from Germany and released this 8 song LP last year. Didn't really hear anything about them until this year though, The band plays the sort of downstroke plenty rock that you can hear hints of the Wipers in. As far as current bands go, I would definitely count them as brethren of the Estranged, though a bit more subdued.

The band tends to go for a more mid tempo approach to their music as opposed to a pedal to the metal in your face assault that other Wipers influenced bands like Hot Snakes dish out. It's a very good record, not great, but absolutely worth picking up if you see it at a distro you are already picking something else up from.
