This is another demo from Tyrant which required the aid of an outside source, in this case, Dave Okumu of immense rock-heroes The Invisible.
Alan was fairly eager to not feature any particularly impressive guitarists on the record (although Tom, bassist for the Invisible features heavily on Double Bass throughout), in order make his own efforts appear more valuable, so we recruited Dave for his vocal skills so he could make me look dumb instead.
Without him, the track takes a totally different tone: Witness the Shitness.

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren

Ah! My first entree into TSPSI, and I love it. Angular, edgy, angry, and accomplished. Like vintage NIN on meth. Can't wait to go backward through their discography. dr_shaun

A deep dive into the emotional landscape of Greg Puciato. Seamlessly going from raw harshness to the complete opposite and back. Average Tween Wave Enjoyer
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
