Is anyone else sick of hearing about the US presidential election? I thought so. Flip a coin when you turn on the radio-- will it be about the economic "catastrophe," or the election (catastrophe)? At least one of those topics of constant verbal diarrhea will expire soon...Lesser Of Two's name just seemed appropriate for this time of the year, and since they also produced some baffling and insane hardcore/metal/crust (and I know you're lovin' the cover art!)... here's their self-titled LP on Malarie Records (2000). It seems increasingly hard to find any band presence on the web, so I'm assuming their material is out of print(?). According to the myspace of some members' current band, Embers, you can still obtain most of LOT's recordings through them. However, their official website lists nothing in the way of LOT merch. I don't know, I figure this band isn't really out to make money, but if anyone has a problem with me posting this just send an e-mail. So the music... Lesser Of Two played a manic style of crusty hardcore that sometimes treaded in psychedelic and/or doomy waters. The writing is unpredictable and the playing is tight as hell! The chaotic feel is only superficial, because these gentlemen and lady knew exactly what they were doing. No comparisons will quite do the trick, but ABC Diablo, Skaven, and early Burst (vocals) are the ones that come to mind. Check it out, and also check out Embers who are great as well (and hit them up for LOT CDs and whatnot).
