Formed from remnants of Breather Resist, Young Widows chucked most of their forebear’s post-hardcore slant in favor of hideous noise-rock that squirts and squirms like Circus Lupus performing a back-alley abortion on The Jesus Lizard—with a jackhammer. The band’s 2006 debut, Settle Down City, was defined by a fascinating, writhing repulsiveness that barely ever came up for air; last year’s Old Wounds played up the oddly entrancing push-pull its repetitious grinding can have on a crowd through the integration of live cuts, spliced together by producer and Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou.
