 God damn it, they’re still here! Having released two horrendous albums within seven months in 2009, one could only hope that the kids of Dot Dot Curve had begun concentrating on getting an education when they went quiet for almost two years. Alas, it was too good to be true, as the Indiana crunkcore outfit return with their third LP ‘I’m Still Here’. Just as this album title makes a statement, previous release ‘Your Ears Will Bleeping Bleed’ literally had such an ability with the aural torture which it contained within its forty minutes. Incorporating awful unintelligible screaming, headache-inducing auto-tune, expletive-laden lyrics and stock-standard beats, the group’s atrocious initial recordings truly scraped the bottom of the barrel when it came to “music”. Hell, the first of three ridiculously unfunny skits which opens this album even states as such: “the first 2 CDs sucked major big dick". When opening track proper ‘We Nice’ then goes on to state "yeah my music sucks, but I don't give a fuck", expectations are not exactly high for a significant improvement.
To give Dot Dot Curve some credit, they have actually learnt something from their past abominations. On the back of half-decent cuts 'Thr3e1se7en' & 'Device' from their prior LP, the group wisely incorporates more hip-hop into the mix here. Furthermore, the use of auto-tune is not as over-done as previously, while they are thankfully less reliant on Spanky's wounded animal like screaming. Sadly, all these attributes are still irritatingly apparent, just to degrees that will have you reaching for the ‘skip’ - as opposed to the ‘stop’ – button. ‘What the Future Holds’ is the track which best outlines all the elements that Dot Dot Curve are attempting to integrate, while the electronic bleeps & bloops of the half-decent ‘Shake Your Titties’ even sees the band endeavor to advance into club banger territory. For the most part, the backing music that is provided by Jayreck is your usual assortment of home studio beats… Occasionally mildly effective, sometimes distractingly over-powering and never in any sense ground-breaking....full text |

Dot Dot Curve originated out of Greenwood, Indiana in 2008. It all began when DDC brainchild Spanky (then 18 years old) decided to create a solo project with a new genre, all its own. Once tracks went online, Dot Dot Curve’s fan base and play counts took off like wildfire. Within months, DDC was accumulating not only thousands of plays a day, but thousands of downloads a day. Spanky released his songs as free downloads for over a year, before releasing on iTunes. After iTunes sales skyrocketed, his music was picked up by Hot Topic and Dot Dot Curve started to receive attention from AP and other music publications.
Multiple tours both in the US and abroad followed, which leads DDC to the release of the new album “I’m Still Here”. As with all of his other releases, Spanky recorded the new material in his garage, with nothing but a laptop and a mic. Once again he has written, mixed, recorded and mastered by everything by himself. The new tunes expand on DDC’s “crunk” sound while incorporating more hip hop into the mix....full text |
