Review: The debut EP from southern California natives Blueprint Car Crash is one that 96% percent of the population wrote off from the beginning that they'll never amount to anything greater than this, and they were right. Due to low funds, bad ties and irresponsible members the band only made it to another EP they split with another band, The Kirby which I reviewed previously. This EP is BCC at it's roots, five guys making music whilst showing the scene they can [and did] make more creative songs by simply having fun than almost every band in your music library did by blood, sweat and tears. It's more than apparent on your first listen that this band is having a blast in the recording studio, and if you've ever witnessed this band live before their premature demise in 2006, you could attest to this first hand. Comprised of off-tempo, but grooving drum beats, dubbed, dubbed, and overdubbed guitar tracks, a small truckload of echo and delay pedals, jazzy bass lines, and Mo Shahisaman's unique style of melodically talking/yelling his creative [and sometimes existentialist] lyrics over the rest of the band, you get six tracks that will sink in slowly over time. I have found myself listening and relistening to this EP since their last "real" tour in 2004, and I'm still finding new layers and meanings. While some songs may be hit or miss with you, you definitely have to give credit where credit is due, and these guys definitely deserve it.
