The Amherst trio had towers of amps stacked up all over the stage, including one that was pointed directly towards front man J Mascis, in case his monitors weren’t providing him enough of his own guitar sound. And not having enough sound has never really been a problem for the group, and it certainly wasn’t on this evening as the band tore through a fiery 90 minute set that spanned the band’s entire career.

Shaun Drees and Dan Radde conceived the idea for the band and began work in 2004, eventually filling empty spots with former band-mates, and as for the band’s mission statement, “Guiltmaker was established with big hopes of delivering something noteworthy to today’s indie rock scene.”br /br /The 4-song span style=”font-style: italic;”Driven By Arms/span utilizes the not-quite-screaming not-quite-singing style of vocals underlined by driving high guitars. Ultimately however the band lacks the depth that many contemporaries within the post-hardcore scene seem to have. Blending songs lyrically and musically can be effective if the theme offers something sensational, but in this case, unfortunately the band performs a played-out sound which might not exactly cut it as noteworthy in today’s indie rock scene.br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/1600/1%20stars.jpg”img style=”cursor: pointer;” src=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/200/1%20stars.jpg” alt=”" border=”0″ //abr /br /a href=”http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=downloadufid=A28CA41C18FFB852″Guiltmaker “Connected”/a span style=”font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(mp3)/span (a href=”http://rapidshare.de/files/21727576/Guiltmaker_-_Connected.mp3.html”alternate link/a)br /br /a href=”http://www.myspace.com/guiltmaker”Guiltmaker – MySpace Site/a span style=”font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(2 songs)/spanbr /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/1600/Guiltmaker.jpg”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;” src=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/320/Guiltmaker.jpg” alt=”" border=”0″ //a
