SEAN Singers Ruin Perfectly Good Bands MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL grindcore CD review - September 21, 2005
SEAN -"Singers Ruin Perfecty Good Bands" CD
MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL #269 review
For a band not to get beat up with a name like that, you know they got to be the good kind of a "Boy Named Sue"-type thing. Even before seeing the picture of the burly and bearded dude behind drums,though,you know they got nothing to worry about cuz this bizarre two-piece riips in all the best ways.The real x-factor kicker about SEAN though-far more than the name(which gets explained on their website)--is that all sounds contained herein are made with just drums and keyboards, the most blown out,distorted,,noise-ridden keyboards ever. As the album title suggests,this is instrumental,schizophrenic, million-changes-a-minute,drain -bamaged,prog-grind insanity and a definite must for fans of LANA DAGALES,YETI,TARANTULA HAWK,ZOMBI,RUINS, and of course,YES.

SEAN LIFE OF THE GRINDCORE LOVER - August 4, 2005
Ytossie and Sean:
Ytossie saw who her date would be she told us, "Sean caught my eye tremendously tall, good-looking, light color eyes, dark hair is what I like." Sean said “She seemed like an independent woman. I thought that we'd definitely bond. She's a massage therapist and I'm a massage therapist.” That was about the only good thing said about this date. Sean went on and on about his friends how his mom was also a massage therapist. . Ytossie seems to feign polite interest at first, but soon looks completely away from him studying the side of the road while Sean looks straight ahead, still talking. At one point she got rude moved her fingers up and down at Sean and said, "Blah, blah, blah" while he was talking. He did not get the hint ! She told us "I don't want to say an intelligent conversation, but I love intelligent men. I'm a big kidder but he talked a lot and the things that he said didn't interest me at all." At the Xunantunich Maya Ruins where we can see Ytossie sitting and twirling her hair looking bored. Sean puts on a goofy smile and says, "There's free shirts over there." and proceeds to walk to a rack of garish shirts, pulling out one and struggling to get it over his head without unbuttoning it. and then complained that Ytossie had failed his test by not helping him dress. Looking back at the date Ytossie had this to say Conversation with Sean irritated the heck out of me. Sorry to say, he was a pretty package and a pretty package he should have stayed. I shouldn't have opened the package.
