DETOURNEMENT RECORDING & REVIEWS

New Brunswick, NJ basement scene veterans, DETOURNEMENT, have been down in the basement (affectionately know as Little Eden Studios) recording their follow up to "Screaming Response" with BOUNCING SOULS guitarist Pete Steinkopf turning the knobs and calling the shots. Here's what Zak Kaplan had to say about the sessions:

When Pete offered to record us I just thought it would be cool to just go and hang out, get wasted, and whatever. I figured at least it would be a fun way to demo some new songs. I had no idea that the guy actually knew what he was doing! It really sounds great and it's been a lot of fun just hanging out a K8's house and making music.

DETOURNEMENT recently posted an acoustic version of "Odessa" on their myspace page so be sure to check that out and plans are already in the works for a "Screaming Response" repress with new vinyl colors and new sandpaper schemes. Check out what some of the people have been saying:

ALTERNATIVE PRESS
4 out of 5 stars - It's simple math: When you count members of Lifetime, Bigwig, Ensign and Worthless United among your ranks, you need to deliver the bearded goods. And Detournement have made good on the promise their pedigree commands with Screaming Response, a short collection of fast (and awesome) punk rock. Blasting out eight songs in fewer than 12 minutes, this is instant-classic melodic punk that blends the fury of the first Clash record with the street-smart growl of the Business and Street Dogs. "Odessa" churns with all the power of a killer One Man Army B-side, while "No Estan Solos" is "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" for the Fest generation, complete with some words that aren't even English. Get into it.

JERSEY BEAT
This is classic hardcore punk! Fast, loud, furious, and politically motvated. The average track length is 1:30 or so, and there’s only 8 tracks on the disc, unfortunately. But this is great hardcore, some of the best I’ve heard in years! Too much “punk” today is really power-pop, geared toward alternative rock fans. This is the real deal, folks. Recommended.

BROKEN HEADPHONES
While at the Bouncing Souls show last week I was checking out the merch booth grabbing some goodies for myself. As I was waiting for the merch guy to return to the booth, I saw this interesting looking 7″ vinyl on the counter. It grabbed my attention mostly because of the jacket. The jacket was actually wrapped in sand paper making for a unique look.

Not knowing who the band was I added it to my pile of goodies and went on with my night.

Today I finally had a chance to check out my impulse buy. The band is called Detournement and their debut EP titled Screaming Response was released on the Bouncing Souls’ record label Chunksaah Records. The band enjoyed the EP so much they were selling it at their shows and boy am I glad they did.

The eight song EP is full of political powerful punk rock goodness with very thought out lyrics combined with punk music that almost reminds me of Rancid especially with the Matt Freemon-like bass riffs throughout the EP. Heavy on the hardcore punk side at times and overall a good listen, I really enjoyed this blind purchase a lot.

AN EVENING WITH JACK TERRICLOTH

“The Midnight Formals”

A sure bet for those seeking a dash of midnight mayhem, the infamously conspiratorial Jack Terricloth, frontman of The World/Inferno Friendship Society and author of “The Collected Cloth,” brings the NYC premiere of his intimate evening of punk-noir and song featuring multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Sandra Malak to the Pub for four rounds only.

A tear through tales and tunes of the then and now, and unknown gems to boot, these rare evenings provide a one-time glimpse into what dwells in the mind of this beloved anarchist.

Pick a midnight, any midnight, and dress appropriately, dammit.

DETOURNEMENT "SCREAMING RESPONSE"
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!

A short, fast, loud approach to songwriting, politically poited lyrics, and an abrasive delivery, Detournement's debut release, "Screaming Response", is a furious and scalding critique of a collapsing economic system, a battle-cry to define and organize the struggle, and a hardcore-punk record that sounds as if the genre was being discovered for the first time.

Set for release on May 5th, Detournement has made their debut EP (packaged in a unique printed and casewrapped sandpaper jacket, and available in yellow, gray, and gray and black vinyl) available for pre-order through Chunksaah.com and PiratesPressRecords.com starting today. The band has also posted two new tracks from the record, "Odessa" and "No Están Solos" streaming on their Myspace page.

Features members of Worthless United, Lifetime, Bigwig, Ensign, and Plan A Project.
