At first, Raise Up Your Head invites a lot of comparison. At first you may think of "Come Together" by Spiritualized or "Metal Mothers" by Guided by Voices. Then you begin to realize the whole thing is a dichotomy of the driving new-wave punk of Joy Division and the slow heavy rock of the early '90s complete with the full nasal voice that rides the waves like Jon Auer. And then you conclude that it is something entirely its own.
