In a music world that seems confused and often disoriented, there are band's like Fifty Seven Stitch that seem to clear things up. They aren't far from what you hear in the modern rock scene, but they have an 80's melodic sensibility to the music. They use traditional Metal licks, rock vocals mixed with subject matter that dwell deep...
Overall, this album blows away Nickelback and should embarrass the rest of the major label acts. This is one of those types of bands that can bridge the gap between the traditional and modern Rock crowds. - From The Box 101.9 review
This is hard rock done extremely right. Nerveblock maintains a perfect mix of beauty and the beast. The guitar sound is amazingly phat and crunchy, and Brett Petruseks vocals are passionate and aggressive, but he never resorts to indulgent histrionics (MTV bands take note: constant atonal screaming is very annoying). If you find yourself wondering whether bands on the current scene have ever heard Rocks or Appetite for Destruction, 57 Stitchs Nerveblock is just what your doctor needs to order. Go forth and crank. - Vintage Guitar Magazine January 2004
Have a listen for yourself.
