"You only need three words to describe Black Rose Diary's sound: Rock and Roll. This is the kind of band you want to hear over 50 cent games of pool, dollar shots of Jack, and 2 packs of smokes." - Mike D *Pitpunk.com*BLACK ROSE DIARY
HERE'S TO INDIFFERENCE
BASEMENT TRANSMISSIONS RECORDS 002
Black Rose Diary are an eclectic bunch, as HERE'S TO INDIFFERENCE exhibits, and most of the time the four-piece's varying tones and styles work. They start off strong with a nice pop-punk couplet (not in the gross, whiny tradition that the term "pop-punk" now denotes, but rather in the charming Screeching Weasel vein) "Operation by Candlelight" and the darker, moodier "Funny Like a Funeral". But then they throw in a bunch of decidedly harder-edged songs (the title track, "Crisis Averted", "Shakedown!") and these totally tough rock 'n' roll numbers replete with gritty, mean vocals ("My Cadillac", "Switchblade Love", "Light Up the Night" (with its appropriate chorus: "I sold my soul, my soul to rock 'n' roll"). And it works. It's just a shame BRD had to taint the record with the two final tracks. - Janelle Jones, Skratch Magazine
