The Prairie Cartel (Blake Smith, Scott Lucas, Mike Willison, Daniel Marsden) de Chicago
Fue su disco de debut a finales del año pasado tras unos prometedores ep, un gran disco de electronica y guitarras, dance-punk, potente sonido de guitarras mezclandose con los sintetizadores y con una voz estilo punk… grupo formado por miembros de otras bandas: Scott Lucas (Local H) y Blake Smith y Mike Willison (ex-Caviar). Aprovechando que lo han resubido, una ocasión para quien se lo perdió de poderlo recuperar.
The Prairie Cartel’s full-length debut album Where Did All My People Go takes the listener on a 78 minute auditory roller coaster ride of fast-paced dance punk and slower synth-infused rock compositions. If you survive the ride, you will want to do it all over again.
According to the Prairie Cartel, the band began as a way to pass the time during Chicago’s lengthy and punishing winters. And what better way to heat things up than to fully indulge one’s self in making an excellent synth-filled electro-rock album with a few friends? Formed in 2005, the Prairie Cartel is made up of Chicago rock scene veterans Scott Lucas (Local H), Blake Smith and Mike Willison (both of Caviar/Fig Dish).
Where Did All My People Go is packed full of electronic bells and whistles, heavy driving bass lines, and fuzzed-out, distortion rock guitars. Taking full advantage of having two singers, Where Did All My People Go contains vocals that range from piercing screams (courtesy of Lucas) to what can only be described as “sultry sleaze” (courtesy of Smith).
