Breaking the balls of history

"... Breaking the Balls of History is the first album in ten years from this dynamic duo. And dynamic is just what it is -- these songs show Weiss is again living up to her status as one of the best rock drummers on the planet, and you can feel the joy that comes from her being able to pummel a drum kit with her trademark level of muscle, precision, and imagination. Even better, she's doing so with a musician who is delighted to feed off her energy, and the roar of Coomes' heavily distorted keyboards (and occasional guitar overdubs) is a great match for Weiss' forward momentum, boasting enough punch and pomp to stand tall in any context".

"After a decade, Janet Weiss and Sam Coomes' band returns with an album that's musically rejuvenated but lyrically nearsighted".
