Unknown-ness: Never heard of this band, or what it seems like, two bands splitting sides to this LP. The cover art is interesting with lines and shapes forming layers, and somewhat abstract events going on around a sloth. From this and the back cover (is this one band or two bands?) can only imagine its going to be something between alternative math rock and hard core metal. All the elements are there for any of those directions.

Album Review: So it is a split record for two Serbian bands: Lets Grow & Jaibo!, both on the same Doomtown records label based in Zagreb Croatia. Lets Grow have been around since 2001, and they play fast, hardcore shouty punk. And Jaibo! is a younger band playing more calculated metal and hardcore with a bit of a classic rock feel.

Stand Out Track: * Cant
