Filthy T- Fragile
by Tim Wenger
Filthy T is back with a vengeance. The hip-hop rock outfit has dropped the hardest hitting album of the year to date out of Denver. Driven by punk attitude, the band raps about all things honest and relevant and backs it up with engaging harmonic backups and rock-driven instrumentation. They take rap-metal, remove the lameness, and replace it with a much more upbeat punk rock and modern hip hop fury that makes their sound appealing across genre lines.
“Since The Day” is the strongest song on the record. True, I’m a sucker for strong guitar work, but this track features more than just guitar- female vocals, for one, in addition to audio proof that Filthy T actually has talent. “Don’t Forget” is along the same lines, minus the added female charm.
It is hard to label these guys- they take the best elements of rap and alt rock and smash them together like the eighties and nineties are happening all over again, and the end result is a breathtakingly awesome fresh style that makes you want to party like it’s 1999.
