Amazon.co.uk Review
Is there such a thing as rock anymore? It's alternative, or it's pop, or it's metal, or it's industrial, or it's techno. Or, it's Pitchshifter, who are all of the above... and then some. The influence of old-school punk like the
Dead Kennedys is obvious, especially on songs like "As Seen on TV" ("When sport utility vehicles are no longer enough, you need the Terminator!"), but Pitchshifter have accomplished the difficult trick of melding several genres into a distinct sound. Perfectly at home in goth dance clubs and heavy metal mosh pits, they sprawl into head-spinning electronica experiments or straight-ahead riffage (the guitar line from "Stronger" sounds like it was written by Rob Zombie), and they're never boring.

CD Description
Combining elements of hardcore, industrial, alternative pop-rock, grindcore, and some drum-and-bass, Britain's Pitchshifter is poised to make a name for itself in the overcrowded field of hard-hitting post-Korn rock bands. With the releaseof DEVIANT, produced by Dave Jerden (Alice In Chains, Offspring) the band makes a forceful claim on that coveted marketshare. Such songs as "Keep It Clean", "Wafer Thin", and "Scene This" offer up a vibrant, energetic, and interesting mixof styles. Though the band has a wide variety of influencesthat span many genres, one thing remains constant in its music--creativity. Every one of the tracks on DEVIANT cuts through with a fresh edge, making it a satisfying and well-rounded album.
