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. The quartet showcases its instrumental wizardry on the opening title cut, a skull-crushing groove monster that finds evocative drummer Damon Che leading the band through a succession of stop-time breaks. The energy builds for the chaotic dissonance of "Chief Sitting Duck," then dissipates on the Slint-like dirge of "New Laws," which shows a subtle mastery of dynamics. Songs like the thundering "Nicked and Liquid," the heavily distorted "Rocco," and the psychotic jamming of "Got a Mile, Got a Mile, Got an Inch" (which reveals the origins of the band's name in an SCTV sketch) reach out and grab you by the cojones, shaking you around like a rag doll without resorting to headbanger clichés. With Midas-touch production from Steve Albini, For Respect is one of the better instrumental rock records of the early '90s. ~ Bret Love

Before, listening to Don Caballero felt similar to being beaten over the head with a huge baseball bat of pure audible genius: often too overwhelming and complicated for your average music listener to listen to for very long, much less understand. With American Don, it seems that the baseball bat has been traded in for a pillow, and instead of beating they are slowly smothering. Much of the aggressive bite of the music has been simmered out: distortion is much more rare, time changes have been minimized, even the notoriously breakneck drumming of Damon Che has been sedated. The only piece that seems most similar to the styles they had established before ...

| | Don Caballero 2 CD (1995)
For Respect album
$12.19
The liner notes speak it plain -- "Don Caballero is rock not jazz, Don Caballero is free from solos." But not from complex, ever evolving compositions that never, ever forget to crank up the amps and riff along. The post-rock canard that the group was labeled with somewhere along the line doesn't really make sense, and the math rock label is even more limiting -- too bloodless. If a comparison had to be made or a link established, try Drive Like Jehu, but without vocals. The Williams/Banfield guitar team knows exactly how to play off each other, trading notes, establishing parallel melodies, and hitting full crunch like an evolving beast. ...

For Respect CD music
$16.69
Chris sings of little things and big things. But whatever the size of his lens, this Montreal-based singer-songwriter has been raising ears with his wide-eyed, reggae-influenced folk-pop. His latest album entitled, Twitter, Buzz, Howl, released in November, 2005, dishes out a collection songs that weave storytelling, social inquiry and a desire to find beauty and meaning in the everyday, mundane and difficult sides of life. While he grew up listening to just about anything he could play his guitar to, his most indelible music influences came from two, otherwise disparate sources: The singer-songwriter craftsmen such as Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Jackson Browne; and the A-Z of Jamaican artists and bands playing roots reggae in the 70s. After playing in a series of bands through high school and college, Chris and his two brothers formed Equalizer, in 1998 - a seven-piece, original, reggae band that built a strong following in Montreal and earned itself opening slots for big reggae names such as Burning Spear, Michael Rose and Andrew Tosh. Driven by a desire to try and do some good in the world, Chris left Equalizer in 2001 with a law degree in hand to work as a lawyer in the areas of environmental protection and international human rights. But destiny stepped in a year later in 2002 when Chris agreed to accompany his two filmmaker friends to West Africa to act as the musical director for a music-based documentary film project. Entitled, The Refugee All Stars, the film tells the remarkable story of a group of six Sierra Leonean musicians who came together to form a band while living as refugees in the Republic of Guinea. The experience had a profound effect on Chris and reconnected him with his own musical calling. He returned home and soon after recorded his debut solo album, "It's Not What You Think", which he released independently in 2003. The freshman album marked a return to Chris singer-songwriter roots but his reggae influences lay close to the surface. Containing a re-released version of his underground hit, "Sweet Mary", ...
