MIGHTYFEW - CINEMA (2000)



From DJ Martian's blog:
"From the faraway shores of Australia comes the debut release by Mightyfew. Based in Canberra and formed four years ago, the band have developed a defined vision of heavy, textured, soulful, post-hardcore metal experimentation, showcased here as 'Cinema'. At times soaring and melodic, then breaking into sonic chaos driven by the torn vocal screams of singer Chris Doyle, perfectly mixing desperation and beauty. In the same kind of area as the works of Will Haven and Refused, these six tracks lay down a blueprint for what Mightyfew will continue as they record their debut full length for release later in 2002."

Unfortunately that never happened. We had to wait until late 2006 for a half-assed reunion which produced sub par new music and was quickly forgotten, even by those in the band. What makes Mightyfew's inability through the years to find a working groove so painful is the magnificence of this mini album. Recorded in late 2000. Check out the riff on "Meet the City". Cowabunga dudes!
