Northern Liberties – Secret Revolution CD (Worldeater Records) You want edgy, angular, experimental post-hardcore, you say?Want it to be quasi-intellectual, you say? As if it could be anything else – given the first demands. And you want a whole hour of it? Don’t want to pay too much for it, either? OK, Worldeater Records will sell you this album or $6. That’s pretty fair, I think. It’s a good album, too, even if, with 18 songs on it, it’s a bit much, especially since Northern Liberties are something of a Dogme project, in that the line-up consists of one drummer, one percussionist, and one bassist. OK, you get vocals, too,, lots of effects on top of it as well, but if you want guitars, you’ll have to search elsewhere. What you get here is raw, artistic expression in the vein of No Means No or Shellac. Not an easy album to listen to, by no means, at times it’s extremely bleak, but it’s rewarding in its own way. If you dig: No Means No, Fugazi, Shellac
