AmRep Revisited – Helmet – Selected Discography + MP3 + Videos

While contemporaries were mucking about in swamps of feedback and messy sludge-rock power chords, this New York quartet formulated a metal-bore sound so clean, crisp and martial that some wags adopted Teutonic accents when discussing “das precision rock sound.” Guitarist/singer Page Hamilton mastered the art of discipline as a foot soldier in Glenn Branca’s guitar army (he was also, briefly, in Band of Susans) and found a remarkably astute way to recast some similarly avant-garde playing for the moshpit set.
