Хорошая группа оказалась, только что выкачал их альбом Sound Asleep (2005) в соулсике. Мелодичный неокраст с женским вокалом, очень порадовало. Впрочем, там иногда и мужчина что-то подкрикивает.
Вообще, этот неокраст меня страшно радует. Много интересных нестандартных групп появляется в этом направлении. Вспомнить хотя бы Allee Der Kosmonauten.
BALLAST Sound Asleep CD [Profane Existence (Exist 073CD)]
Ten songs of the most intense punk rock ever to be released in the 15+ year history of Profane Existence Records, the debut LP from Montreal's Ballast is destined to became a classic of our age. The music is an urgent mix of hardcore, crust, and classic peace-punk influences, with the songs being lengthy and very-well structured. The most striking element of their sound are the female-fronted vocal delivery, which is powerful, yet melodic and emotive too, and harmonizes wickedly with the more gruff, male backing vocals. If you need a reference for comparison, imagine the Lost World meets Tragedy! This band has previously self-released an awesome demo cassette, plus an even better 7" EP, and is known for their knock-out live performances. They recently played Minneapolis with the powerhouse bands Sunday Morning Einsteins, Artimus Pyle, and Forca Macabra and hands-down stole the show! They plan to tour extensively in 2005, starting with a 12-week European tour.
