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
(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
