THE DRIVE BY FAITH HEALERS |

Cool name for a band! The
world could probably use some "drive by faith healers" for real, in times
like these! In the meantime, we've got this band. They're a duo, consisting
of guitarist/vocalist Shane Brumbaugh and bassist/vocalist Ned. Whoever
played drums is not credited, unless they used a drum machine, but it
doesn't sound like it. The first song on this five-song disc is called
"Doom Vortex", and that's a pretty good description of their music. The
Faith Healers are very influenced by Black Sabbath and Tool, with tuned
down bass and guitars, a doomy, sinister atmosphere to their music, and
a raw, stripped down sound. The last two songs on the disc, "Children
Of The X" and "Shane's Implants" are played a little faster, with more
of a "rock and roll" vibe to them. They reminded me of the 80's band Love/Hate,
if anyone remembers them, but darker. "Children..." is in fact the longest
song on the album, going for almost seven minutes, while "...Implants"
is the shortest, at less than three minutes. All things considered, these
guys are a good band. The can play, they rock, and they have a style of
their own. Pretty cool! Contact the band at: www.onlinerock.com/musicians/pinnick
