Vernon Wayne - Jazzes (2013)

Greetings and salutations, friends, I am back with yet another installment of math that will keep your peepers peeled. Today I submit for your approval —Vernon Wayne, a group from Minneapolis. Vernon bring your math rock via an indie rock/metal bent with some well-crafted song structures and more than capable vocals. One of the more subtle elementals I've been enjoying about them is that their dual guitar attack is a bit indebted to classic metal sounds. It may not be clear, but it's to Vernon's favor that they are able to synthesize more than a few genre that they enjoy. In the process they have distilled a pretty tasty beverage, an artisanal root beer in my approximation. Highly suggest their previous release (Prints *2011) as well which ups the math and metallic tastes but lacks the refined song structures of Jazzes.

Cartel Carnage - Incorporated (2012)

**You walk into a bar**

Classic metal is having an arm wrestling contest in the corner with Progressive rock....typical.

Front and center grabbing drinks of course is ol' drinking buddies J. Zorn and Mike P.

I did notice upon entering as well the atypical choice of music the DJ was playing...some sort of free jazz.

Interesting stuff here at the "Cartel Carnage"
