Metal Review

Croatan is a mixed bag to say the least, from the bio's description: "Damaged feedback, demented female vocals, ploddingly brutal metaloid rock drumming..." one would expect a female fronted Eyehategod or Buzzov*en. Musically, Croatan sound more akin to a louder, sloppier Babes In Toyland, Hole when they were slutty, obnoxious and couldn't play worth a shit and from time to time, the Melvins, with their excessive use of feedback and occasional slowness. Croatan are by no means crap, rocking in a way that a lot of rock has disregarded, and they are definitely damaged and severely fucked up. They should have little trouble appealing to fans of any of the aforementioned bands.
