The mind-numbingly violent sounds of The Hospitals are among the ugliest ever to creep out of Portland, Oregon. This remarkable guitar-and-drums duo assault their instruments and audience in a way that could be described conservatively as wildly aggressive and frantically crazed, deliberately harsh and unapologetically brutal. Drummer / vocalist Adam Stonehouse attacks his kit in a style that has to be seen to be believed (any description would only trivialize it), all the while screaming as if he were passing kidney stones. Guitarist Roddy thrashes away with kinetic and spastic riffs that would make Greg Ginn proud. Influenced by the likes of Flipper, The Scientists, Electric Eels, Japanese noise bands, power tools and pro wrestling, the “music” of The Hospitals is not for the squeamish or feint of heart or eardrum. Brevity is the order of the day here, because, really, how long does one need for the aural equivalent of a knife assault? Seriously.

I liked Hairdryer Peace a lot and I think it saw Stonehouse progressing into a variety of interesting directions but I was totally disappointed by the complete lack of press for it. It seems like the band completely fell off the map after Jocks & Jazz, probably because the new album wasn't on a label. Maybe Stonehouse wanted Hairdryer Peace to be a small release for fans because it seems like he could've gotten someone, if not Load or In The Red then one of a million smaller labels, to release it.
