KFJC On-Line Review: Guilty Strangers - “Guilty Strangers” - [Transient Records] 5 song E.P. from Guilty Strangers, a husband/wife project out of of San Antonio, Texas. DIY, post punk with a Halloween vibe. Female, Lydia Lunch-like vocals by Christ-een. Other by Shawn “Scary” Terry. Sounds like S.F. 1977, and N.Y. 1981. This is my favorite band of the year. Can’t wait to hear more. -Ophelia Necro ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Another nice online review, from a list called "The Rockingest Bands in San Antonio as of Now": Guilty Strangers - https://www.tradebit.com - Dark music similar to Bauhaus, Christian Death, early Siouxsie, and the Pain Teens. One of the few newer bands that can accurately pull off this type of sound. Well done on the self-made production too. I also hear they''ll be playing shows soon. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mick Mercer had THIS to say: GUILTY STRANGERS 5 SONG EP Transient Although the line-up has now swelled to include JG and Chris Ruptive this taut, twisted EP was recorded by Shawn and Christine Terry at home, and it’s a rare treat of the old, earliest Goth sounds forged today with a clipped, sleek exoskeleton. Christine also included an extra CD that included some live tracks by the foursome which was a sore, rickety delight like a preying mantis squatting in a cathedral. ‘Keepsake’ nails you early. The keyboards drift away as civil but essentially murderous guitar stalks into the room. Sour, disenchanted vocals haul you backwards through time, festering towards the end and erupting spectacularly. Who does Christine sound like? Like a female version of Rozz Williams in a way, as the guitar ties itself in little circles round her wrists. ‘Fetish’ then welcome the totally deceased religious bass sound and the same early US Goth sound permeates the track with a creepy low bass and crouched drum patter, as the guitar hovers seedily, lank but tough, the vocals haughty. ‘Passerby’ wants to sneak by but it’s a sure sign of their songwriting quality that as it rustles it grows, and Christine’s vocals are remarkably potent when seemingly delivered casually. This is an entirely modern side to their work and it’s a gorgeously insidious little ghost of a song. ‘45mg’ has scabbier chord blisters, with a bony rhythm, and spectral guitar signature. ‘Black Magic Trouble’ shoves you out of the room and wrecks it quietly behind you with a stronger rhythmic presence, allowing a fresher atmosphere to peel away from the stick-thin vocal/guitar interface. This snapshot hints at a luxurious bigger picture. It’s an EP so cool it’s red hot.
