In my last post about Snakeosaurus Rex, I said that they had won a local Battle of the Bands competition. Well they won because of most of the songs on this record. Then I saw them at a small charity show in the middle of a street, and they still absolutely killed it with these tunes. All I can say is that “Fireload” and “Snake Killer” are some of the best songs I’ve heard this year. They still heavily channel Minus the Bear, but these jams are too damn good to care.

I went to a battle of the bands competition at my college, and I recall bands playing rock (“Free Bird”), hardcore, rap, and other sorts. The last band to go up and play was Snakeosaurus Rex, listing influences of Minus the Bear and Russian Circles. Naturally they won.
