The Burning of Rome

Today at KZSC I processed one of the most interesting bands I've heard in a while. They're called The Burning of Rome (an event which lead to persecution of Christians). My first impression was that it was very "horrorshow"ish (like Primus) with clowny organs in "Hard Times". But then I heard the 80s fun feel of "Dancing Like a Dead Drunk Soldier". Then I heard the beautiful "Too Late, Too Bad" and "Less Forgotten". And THEN I heard "Dear Israel" which starts as a frightening rock delicious clash and then abruptly becomes the cutest ukelele-ridden melody which then turns back into rock 'n roll pop fun. And then "the war is over". It's an incredibly interesting track, and stood out among all the others. I suggest you take a listen just because I don't even understand them. Avant-garde? Maybe.
