After Birth - Want It All

After Birth

The Neil Young influence is apparent throughout The Caustic Resin's set. With their heavy use of reverb, feedback and guitar solos, The Afterbirth features a unique mixture of noisy indie rock that's topped off with a mellow inspiration of grunge. But at the same time, The Caustic Resin's lengthy jam solos and slow moving attempts at pop wear thin. Although the aforementioned Neil Young aspirations could easily compare this band to Built To Spill -front man Doug Martsch did play guitar in Caustic at one point- The Afterbirth still lacks in the charm and catchiness that their fellow Boise natives have. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
