Indian Handcrafts have released their third album titled "Civil Disobedience For Losers" This album follows along the same style and sound that the band went with on their previous two albums. This is a very heavy and loud metal sound that just seems to scream at you with noise. These guys have a similar sound to Death From Above 1979 or a Red Fang, so if you like these bands, you could really like this album. They have done a pretty decent job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty good level, while being pretty distorted and loud. The instrumentation on this album is nothing to really turn an ear at, but the band can play and they give it something a metalhead would like. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are done in a way to sound very much like a classic metal, sort of stoner band would sing. This does make the lyrics a little hard to get, but he still has done a good job. He can certainly sing. With the lyrics, they are pretty hard to understand, but if you listen closer, you can make out what the band is singing about. These lyrics are pretty different here, they have a take on music that reminds me of stuff that Frank Zappa would sing about. It isn't so much about what they are saying here, more so just the music sounding good and heavy, which it does. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Bruce Lee" your attention, as this is the opening track and it really shows off the way the album is the best. Indian Handcrafts have certainly gone a unique route with their music, making it super loud and distorted, but we realize there is a market for this type of music, so we can get why they did it. Hopefully this band can get a little more attention and we think this album is pretty alright. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it.

Indian Handcrafts second album has a sound and feel like they are teetering on that fence between Metal and Indie, the album is too heavy to be indie and too indie to be metal. These guys who are made up of only two guys, sound similar to another duo, DFA1979, so if you are a fan of them, you'll probably like this band as well. When you look at the recording of this album, its pretty good for what the band is trying to do with their grungy, dirty, distorted rock here and the music its self sounds pretty good. With the vocals, they seem like they could be more up front and louder, and the lyrics could be a little more interesting on the album. If you are looking for a song to listen from this album, there is not a single, so just bypass the first song as its just a intro and listen from there. Indian Handcrafts have something here thats interesting and not many are doing, so if the band can do just a little bit more on the quality of the recording and you could really have something here. Give this album a listen and  make sure you follow what the band is up to.
