Absolute Zero Media Magazine Review Spyalcopa EP

With members of Dillinger Escape Plan, Isis, Made Out of Babies and Candiria in this project, who the Hell knew what this would sound like but to be honest I'm totally shocked and in awe. The first two track are a mix of all those bands in a very avant/post hardcore/rock manner and amazing in their own right. The third track is a soundscape/ambient/spacial soundtrack piece with piano and synth elements. Having Greg Puciato and Julie Christmas both on vocals makes this all the more special, as they are two of the best vocalists out there in the musical landscape today. There is a more melody driving sound here then most of their other projects. The aggression is there. but there a more user friendly side to Spylacopa. I still would never call this pop music, but I can see this project getting radio airplay and video support by the mainstream as you can get those Hot Topic kids to listen to this and make them think there still cool [laughs] There is a later period Faith No More vibe to this and it works very well. Spylacopa need to make a full length ASAP. This is brilliance in the making; do not miss out on this.
