Latimer are a Philadelphia band that plays intellectual noise-rock with a
few nods to Sonic Youth's guitar mayhems.
The single Carolida (Baby's Breath, 1994), a powerful, angular,
abrasive punk-rock anthem, and
the EP World's Portable (World Domination, 1994) are fine displays of their
guitar counterpoint.
Wants, Good For Motion, Dirgesque and
Stringbender are both explosive and inventive, driven by
Geoff Doring's and Rich Fravel's distorted riffs.
The sound of LP Title (World Domination, 1995) has the stigmatas
of transcedental rock and roll, the one practiced by, for example,
Television and Neil Young. But a occasional
neurotic twitch and frequent epileptic fits morph
Neolinda, Kiss 120, Stabs The Reason,
Chicken The Goon and
Poseur
into depraved acts of dissonance.
Live From Sour City (World Domination, 1996) has one more missile,
Citizen Jive, but mostly steers towards a psychotic form of
power-pop (Bloated In Detroit, Start With Me).

(Translation by/ Tradotto da John Politico)
Latimer e' il nome di una band di noise-rock intellettuale di
Filadelfia,influenzati dai caos chitarristici dei
Sonic Youth.
Il singolo
Carolida (Baby's Breath, 1994), un potente, spigoloso e
abrasivo inno punk-rock, e l'EP World's Portable
(World Domination, 1994) sono delle dimostrazioni del loro contrappunto
chitarristico.Wants, Good For Motion,
Dirgesque e
Stringbender sono nell'insieme esplosive e inventive,guidate dai
riff
distorti di Geoff Doring e Rich Fravel.
Il sound di LP Title (World Domination, 1995) ha le
stigmate
del rock & roll trascedentale,di quello praticato,ad
esempio,da Television e
Neil
Young.Ma un'occasionale spasmo nevrotico e i frequenti attacchi
epilettici conducono Neolinda, Kiss 120, Stabs
The
Reason, Chicken The Goon e Poseur nei depravati
meandri
della dissonanza.
Live From Sour City (World Domination, 1996) ha il
loro
missile piu' potente,Citizen Jive,ma nel complesso sembrano
indirizzati
verso una forma "psicotica" di power-pop (Bloated In Detroit,
Start
With Me).
