VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! One of our favorites of '98! Double LP. Discordant drums and guitars by one of the best live bands around. If off-tempo, angular guitars and hard-hitting, mile-a-minute drums are your schtick, you'll be in heaven.

The liner notes are clear: "Don Caballero is rock not jazz, Don Caballero is free from solos." Free from solos, but not from complex, ever evolving compositions that never, ever forget to crank up the amps and riff along. How to describe them? The "post-rock" tag doesn't really make sense, and the math rock label is even more limiting -- too bloodless. But if a comparison has to be made or a link established, try Drive Like Jehu, but without vocals. The Williams/Banfield guitar team knows exactly how to pla   [ read more ]

Rare is the rock band that can make a strong impression on the listener without the benefit of a vocalist, but Pittsburgh's Don Caballero comes roaring out of the gate on its debut album.

Singles Breaking Up, as its title indicates, collects 13 early single recordings, all of which do a good job of establishing this Pittsburgh band's dynamic, angular, and hard-driving instrumental rock. As one would expect, the recordings don't have quite the sense of variety or experimentation found on some of the band's later work, but this certainly isn't a flaw -- like the early releases of most bands, the singles work toward fine-tuning a signature sound, and the sonic purity of {^Singles Breaking   [ read more ]

The legendary Don Caballero have re-emerged! Inarguably one of the most celebrated, influential and innovative bands in recent times, Don Caballero is the vanguard of progressive, instrumental music. With World Class Listening Problem, its first full-length album in almost 5 years, Don Cab prove once again that they are head and shoulders above their peers. The bands powerful, percussive-heavy sonic advance is more dense, more expansive, and burns with a new-found urgency. World Class Listening Pr   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. As the second album by the new incarnation of Don Caballero, led by the last remaining original member, drum virtuoso Damon Che, Punkgasm finds the band desperately searching for a new direction. Some of the old sensibilities remain, but here they rifle through various styles outside the realm of syncopated interplay, even (gasp!) incorporating songs with vocals. While it's interesting to see them try to break the holding pattern of intricately carved polyrhythms, the trio's try-anythin   [ read more ]
