The Chariot Puts Up New Music, Still Thinking They're Heavy Musics Saviors



Ahh The Chariot.
Josh Scogin is still riding the coattails of his involvement in Norma Jean's Bless the Martyr, Kiss the Child, and in doing that, is on his 3rd, or maybe 4th, lineup in The Chariot, and is still making the same record so it seems.

Is it just me, or are they not doing ANYTHING different?
If you're going to make a memorable noisecore record, at least make it scary as hell like Spitfire's Cult Fiction.

Bottom line is every artist needs to change and evolve, and it would be great to see a band that has been around since 2004 do something different for a change.

If anything, The Chariot is moving backwards. I've never made a point to listen to their recorded work, but after seeing their live-show, I don't really feel inclined to. In concert, I don't think I heard a single note played. The guitarist swung his guitar around a lot. The singer fell on the stage and crawled around. The swinging-guitarist climbed in the rigging, hung upside-down and fell. Russell Brand once said that fame was his gimmick. "Without fame," he said, "This haircut just says 'Mental Illness'." Well without talent, one draws the same conclusion for people like 'The Chariot'. Stage antics are fine, but you have to actually play some music in-between.
