“We Repel Each Other blend shouty, spazzy old-school emo and clunky Amphetamine Reptile/Touch and Go noise rock—the Chicago trio’s heavy riffs remind us of a million Fireside Bowl shows from the 90s as well as contemporary local combos like Fake Limbs. The band has finally finished their first full-length, the ten-track Mechannequin or How I Stopped Learning and Planned for the Short Term / Merenguetang, after sessions spread out across nearly a year. This week they left town for a European tour, but you can preorder the album through Bandcamp.”
