Exploder! [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Exclaim magazine
"On their debut disc, Exploder!, DSK fuses soaring melody, solid grooves, intelligent lyrics and complex rhythms. The result is 40 minutes of pure musical joy that is paradoxically diverse and coherent; while no two songs sound the same, they fit together as a total package."

About the Artist
Vancouver rock freaks led by the city's most caustic social commentator. The band vacillates between self-parody and no-holds barred sonic assault while the lyrics spew forth in a torrent of tuneful howls from Blair Dobson. Between on-stage fistfights, the notorious instability of certain band members, and the band's oft-rumored demise, it's a wonder these guys still are around at all. Yet, as time marches on, so does DSK. Stay tuned to the unfolding saga of Canada's most dysfunctional band, who... read more

Mondo-distorto-thrash!.......2003-02-07

"Critcal Exploder" is NOT for the weak-eared. Japanese thrashers Exclaim tear through track after track of fast, chaotic, and most of all, distorted hardcore punk, similar to bands like Charm and Idol Punch.
Exclaim's recording style is more blown out and fuzzy than noise punk gods Confuse or Gai, and that's saying something. Most songs sound like a blur of feedback, near blast-beat drums and screaming coming through a blown out speaker... but that's the point. This will scare away the most die-hard thrashers within a few tracks, and indeed, this is tough to listen to all the way through. But if your ears can take the beating, Exclaim uses an interesting way to get one to actively listen to their disc. This isn't background music -- it grabs you by the throat and makes you say uncle!
The tracks from the "Out of Suit" 7" tacked onto the end are more listenable, less fuzzed out, but with the same spastic thrash style. "No Skate No Thrash" is a classic in the making.
Good stuff.

A mostly terrible band but a good album.......2002-06-21

I always hated Eggs. They were best friends with one of my favorite bands of all time, Pitchblende.. but I always hated them. I had heard the album "Bruiser" and a few other miscellaneous tracks and really thought they were one of the worst bands I'd ever heard. Then I heard the songs "Evanston, IL" and "Why am I so Tired All the Time"... both terrific songs, both on "Exploder". So, I bought "Exploder".

As you might expect, it's hit or miss.... but even the 'bad' songs on this album are pretty good. They rock out in a jangly pop way with a similar ineptness to play their instruments as Beat Happening or something similar (though the music here is much less cute pop and much more 'indie rock'.. it was 1995, after all).
