Anterrabae Triple Crown Records/EastWest Updated: 10/05/06
Anterrabae’s previous CD Shakedown Tonight showed a great deal of promise in an otherwise overcrowded hardcore genre. The Long Island, NY based band put in numerous miles across the country, touring in support in this effort. When all was said and done, charismatic lead vocalist Neal Carter left the band to pursue other interests. It wasn’t long before ex-Kid Gorgeous screamer Erik Boccio joined in the ranks, resulting in an exciting new chapter for the band. No second CD slump here – And Our Heart Beat In Our Fingertips, Without Reason is the title of Anterrabae’s latest, and this could be the one to finally push Anterrabae over the top.
Opening with the dynamic strains of Pink & Tender, Boccio and his band mates deliver an exciting collection of hardcore anthems. Searing guitar work, impassioned vocals, and a driving rhythm section hold the tunes tightly together, with tracks such as I Lifted Her Dress Over Her Head And Unscrewed Her Leg, and The Hands Of Christ Are Beautiful Hands being highlights. And Our Heart Beat… is a solid recording that will gain this hard working band a good deal of respect and recognition. Anterrabae has always been willing to take risks with their music, and the vibrant results on their sophomore release are well worth checking into. (Kenneth Morton)
