AP Track Review
Contrition Hymnal by Maccogallo, a 7 piece rock band out of Indianapolis, Indiana starts off with two guitars with strikingly different tones and inherent time signatures until one wins out. As a breath is taken, a male voice (Sean Smith) erupts like a splash of ice cold water on your face, spewing out an exasperated spittle of words. Eventually girl vox (Lilly Ullrich) with lead guitar wails takes over. The back and forth tones and girl / boy vox with supercharged guitars and kind of surf punk drums wash over you. It is a very cool infectious raw sound softened just a bit with post punk pop melodies. Contrition Hymnal is the first single from Maccogallo's upcoming album "Hounds" due to drop November 17th.
