A PLOT AGAINST ME Who Do You Work For? Why Do You Do It? (Independent)
With their pounding beats and relentless, fuzzy guitar riffs, A Plot Against Me would have been right at home on last year's Nine Inch Nails-Queens Of The Stone Age/Death From Above 1979 tour. The Gatineau, Quebec duo of drummer Martin Desjardins and multi-instrumentalist Sylvain Lavigne deliver a dark, dense and apocalyptic vibe reminiscent of QOTSA's Songs For The Deaf, and Lavigne's vocals seem to be modelled closely on Josh Homme's. But if A Plot Against Me are a little derivative, they bring an intensity that even their ancestors would find difficult to match. They may be independent for now, but the band's energy and songwriting skills should make them a tasty catch for labels looking to boost their hard rock roster.
