Mondo Bungle

Chokebore - A Taste for Bitters

It's not my favorite, that spot is reserved for the brilliant Anything Near Water, but this more of an album that "shaped my life". I heard this first, as my dad had this CD. I really liked it so much, the sound grabbed me. Really depressive in tone noise rock, great dynamic shifts, and crushing lyrics delivered through a really great voice from Troy Von Balthazar. Not like a "good" singer, but **** the world. His voice is one of a kind, very personal and perfect for the sad rock we have here.

The lyrics are a great display of depression and apathy and all that good stuff. Bringing you down while lifting you up. Great music, voice, lyrics, style. Great band that is forever an important part of my life.
