FrontIt's been nearly six years since we've heard from New York State's The Monochrome Cherubs, but I suspect they've been busy concocting their fourth release, Pure Grinding Sparkle. And it seems different from previous material. Their sound seems more stripped down and raw, perhaps to a more garage band feeling. The guitars are sharp with riffs strong and cutting like a machete, the leads even more anxious and rousing. You get this from the start especially through the first four songs, and definitely later with Someone Else's Dream and Your Last Chance.

The album is very rare and noted in many wanted lists but personally with this production I wouldn’t pay the amount I have seen in the market. The band sound like a very low budget 70’s band although we are talking for 1990. The band had a good vocalist, great guitar riffs, some nice key parts and a good songwriting that could be better.
