Comments: From the promoter:
"The Unnatural Helpers have been banging around Seattle for a few years now... Despite the myriad lineup changes over the years, the band has managed to retain and expand on its original sound in a steady and cohesive way-- anyone who has witnessed the live show over the years will be well familiar with the band's taut, muscular guitar-rock, driven by Dean Whitmore's whip-tight drumming and usually caustic, often self-deprecating vocals. Oh, and the songs are always short. Very short.
"Cracked Love is 15 songs that conflict and compliment, in just over 25 minutes. Ricocheting between broken and twisted relationships, mock fatalist wink nodage, knucklehead party racket, absurd isolationist paranoia and open book love-letter sap-crap with the prevailing sentiment being summarily diffused just before it has gone too far. This push and pull of friction along with great pop sensibilities and good old fashioned rock & roll KRAANG is in the end what makes Cracked Love such an intriguing, appealing listen."
For fans of The Ramones, Eagles of Death Metal, and Autolux. Go to "Sunshine/Pretty Girls."
