viddekazz2: MIYANO (guitar & vocal), KICK-C (drums)
All tracks written and composed by MIYANO
Artwork and design by Bryan Day

Reviews:
(STNT) VIDDEKAZZ2 est un duo de Punk Noise japonais (Tokyo) dans la pure tradition d'un rock noise à l'ancienne. Ce Kick-C à la batterie bien énervé et ce MIYANO à la guitare abrasive et au chant (étonnamment tout tranquille) m'ont bien surpris dans leur rock noise tout en syncope. VIDDEKAZZ2 sait être très subtil, la particularité de ce chant posé et apaisé perdu dans ce son touffu vaporeux et en même temps bruitiste a vraiment un grain qui me plait. Les alternances un peu pop-isante à la voix sont bien mises en valeur dans ce décor de Noise rock désarticulé. Kick-C martelle la tête dans le guidon, MIYANO cartonne tout bruitiste, un souvenir venimeux quelque part des belles années de chez LOAD Records où le son et l'énergie savaient se décaler et s'emmêler les pinceaux pour se surprendre soi-même. 'top of the world' en fin de disque nous passe 18 minutes de bruit en dessert. Une très bonne surprise. Merci Public Eyesore. - Valery John Klebar

(Raised By Cassettes) If you title an album "sounds of silence" I half expect a cassette with nothing on it, me listening for the full ninety minutes and just waiting. But this CD by viddekazz2 is anything but silent. What starts in this heavy, distorted way could be thought of like Some Girls or Converge- something from that era of just in your face music- but the vocals don't really scream like that. The vocals in these songs have this singing/speaking way about them so that this album reminds me a bit of Beck, specifically in the "Mellow Gold" era. This CD is loud, at times harsh and just brings a lot of chaos with it. In that sense, it can remind me of some combination of Fear Before The March Of Flames and The Lot Six.. "MAYBE TOMORROW" has a nice grinding rhythm to it while the way that these songs come and go make them feel like sporadic thoughts. The shortest song on here- "ONLY YESTERDAY"- comes in at 0:12, and the other songs can average between that length and a minute. There are only two songs longer than that and they both come right near the end. "CHILD IN TIME" is just under three minutes, the second longest song on this CD, and it has these almost western feels to the acoustics with which it begins. Noisy electronics come washing in and eventually you'll hear these piano keys as well. This takes us into "TOP OF THE WORLD", which is 18:27- longer than all of the other songs combined. Those piano keys are also in this song, as the guitars swirl and you can hear the noise but not distortion. This song is also much heavier on the music than the lyrics, as the percussion comes in feeling like everything but the kitchen sink. A percussion rumble with guitars in the background brings the song to its end. What I find interesting about this CD is that the last song, "FROM HERE TO ETERNITY", is only forty one seconds in length. It's a short, noisy number with starts and stops and but one mere scream before it ends. I understand that this is a CD but thinking about it as a cassette (or record) it feels like it would make the most sense to put every song from 1-12 on the first side, but put 14 in between where 11 and 12 are now. Then the first side ends with "CHILD IN TIME" and the full Side B is "TOP OF THE WORLD". Why is there that one last little song at the end? Why didn't the big, near 20 minute opus of a song end the CD? For this, I have no answers. But you know what? I like it that way. Before the internet and social media, we lived in a world of wonder. We had to leave the lyrics up to what we thought they meant and sometimes even what we thought was being said. But now you can just hop on Twitter and ask a band what their name means. Sometimes we need that mystery. Sometimes art needs to be art and not easily explained. So while I may think that, to me, it'd make more sense if they did this one thing, the fact that they did it their way somehow makes me happier. - Joshua Macala

(Babysue) Also out on Public Eyesore is a band new album from viddekazz2 entitled Sounds of Silence. viddekazz2 is the Tokyo-based punk/noise duo comprised of Hidekazu Miyano (guitar, vocal) and Kick-C (drums). Fourteen intense crushers including "Communication Breakdown," "Maybe Tomorrow," "Child In Time" and "From Here To Eternity." - Don Seven

(Felt Hat Reviews) Public Eyesore has always been a source both enjoyment and surprise and many other feelings. Nothing makes you really positively encouraged when you think that many artists who have been a deep, deep niche are still doing and embellishing their body of work and enjoying it to the full. It is no surprise that viddekazz2 can be added to this list. Their new cd that came in March this year is coming both as a refreshing surprise and something of an event in terms of music. 13 short tracks with one ( how surprising, no pun intended!) very long one that circulate around the modals and idioms of harsh and fuzzy themes which probably could pose as an experimental free jazz grind core but with certain sense of gravity and stoicism it elevates the listener to some beautifully strange realm of experimental rock music with guitars, drums and vocals but so weirdly set that it puzzles you right from the start. Somewhat effortlessly and un-forcefully done tracks that have both the irony and use all sorts of tools in terms of techniques and tonalities (or lack of them) to create a funny figures and something that sounds both fresh and dynamic. Well done! - Hubert Napiorski

(Squidco) An assertive Japanese punk-noise duo from Tokyo, VIDDEKAZZ2 delivers a volatile fusion of syncopated drumming, abrasive guitar textures, and unexpectedly serene vocals, channeling the disjointed energy of early noise rock with subtle pop inflections and a raw, Load Records-era aesthetic.
