Peer Review: Video Beast, Shim Shants




Video Beast is an aggressive, post-hardcore/post-grunge band from Brooklyn, NY. The duo can produce a monster sound live, due to shear volume level, but I was happy to hear that they can also bring it on a record, thanks to a full guitar tone, active drums, and the occasional backing vocals. There’s a lot of “teenage boy” in them, for better or worse. I do think that the lead vocals are too high in the mix, which lessens the impact of the thunderous band. Perhaps this is just a demo, and the vocals could be mixed to sit better with the guitar/drums. Overall though, it’s a fun track if you’re into quick riff driven heavy rock, and not put off by quasi-gross out lyrics.
