I remember hearing Atari Teenage Riot in the 90s and thought to myself, in about twenty years, there will be a band that will harness this chaotic sonic clash and turn it into musical gold. That was 17 years ago and though I’m off by about 3 years, Sleigh Bells for all intensive purposes is has become the next generation WiiU Tweenage Riot with just a better name. Though the previous name would better suit them. Their guitars explode like they’re spewing over-tuned digital vomit. They play as if the only volume setting on their amps is 11. And if screaming in key would be a disservice to the music, then hell if they’ll do it. Sleigh Bells isn’t music you want to listen to if you want to study or go to sleep. But if you’re amping up for a big game or a knight fight, then they should be number one on your speed dial.
