Boston's Irepress lead the pack of a new breed of instrumental hard-rock bands hailing from the US. Other bands include Shelter Red, Brass Knuckle Surfer, and We Followed Tigers, but Irepress excels by branching off into the experimental arena and tackling a fierce bass/drum duo that is almost too hot to handle. Utterly ferocious breakdowns capsize Samus Octology time and again, forcing it to rebuild and re-attack. And how relentless the band is; the attacks becoming increasingly brutal and invigorating, each surpassing the last in passion and undying devotion to the band's craft. Irepress is a powerful band capable of moving mountains with a single tap of the foot, and the music is inescapable.
