The first release from New York's Damemas entitled "Let Your Tape Rock" exhibits the band's predilection to mix doses of Born Against, Captain Beefheart, Bardo Pond, The Cult, The Gun Club, Love and Chavez. Arrangements bend in and out of the norm straying a short distance near bombast but veer headlong towards punk & hardcore roots. Vocals are king-ruling with a heavy R&B hand and a nod to harmony mad illness.
