Cash Bribe Demonomics LP
My biggest qualm with CASH BRIBE’s last outing was its lack of cohesion; the songs were solid enough, but a lack of clear direction felt distracting. On their new LP Demonomics, I’ve got to give credit where credit’s due, as the band sounds a lot more dialed-in and focused. Across six tracks, CASH BRIBE takes their brand of metallic NYHC and leans into some evil overtones, most notably on the sprawling title track’s creepy intro and spoken word outro. Overall, it works, and while this still isn’t really my cup of tea, it’s great hearing a band’s progression.
