Screamo, post-hardcore, grindcore, noise – call it what you will, Circle Takes The Square are one of the most technical alternative rock bands out there. Delicate and melodic guitar work builds up to an erratic spasm of blast-beats and demonic dual vocals. With their first studio album since 2004s ‘As The Roots Undo’ due for release anytime soon, the four piece from Georgia embark on a European tour after a long gigging hiatus. Fans of Dillinger Escape Plan, At The Drive-In and everything in between would be fools to miss this. (CB)
