Boston punk keeps going on and getting better. The outrage
may mellow, yet the power of the sound and words
continue. For example, "Catholic Zombies" tells a familiar
story: the belief in madness. Other songs deal with lust, love and
mayhem. These guys are trying to prove something. In
my estimation they are more than up to the task. You can hear
early punk, death rock death metal speed and death metal and thrash
predominately. Not exactly desperation, maybe a little bit
excessive--which can be a good thing if you like and
want it.
Call them a
coagulation of styles: they are funtioning well, as
they are many things mashed from bands like the Shitehawks,
Random Road Mother and Suspect Device. Their
promo package noted: "The music of the Blood Vessels is sometimes
slow & brooding, sometimes break-neck & explosive,
and always played with as much passion and soul as one band can
give, taking inspiration from such acts as The Stooges
and Bad Brains. Lyrically, the music covers many
personal topics and day-to-day issues: work, religion,
love, hate, anger, loss & death, sometimes along with political and
social-political explorations, with the conviction that the
music is an outlet for all that comes along with this. "
