Welcome To Berlin is an extremely fresh-faced trio from Carrboro, NC, one of the band members is wearing an On The Might Of Princes t-shirt on their Instagram, and they describe their sound as “screamo dance music.” Wait, isn’t that just sasscore? Maybe, but …And It’s Blinding asks whether that could just describe a more abrasive version of early Modest Mouse, if “Shit Luck” was allowed to stretch out like “Trucker’s Atlas.” As with Just Got Back From The Discomfort – We’re Alright and Shmap’n Shmazz, just about any future seems possible here — what Welcome To Berlin currently lack in polish, they more than compensate for in potential. In ten years, this might have been a stepping stone towards a subgenre classic or a lost treasure from a band that broke up after they made a subgenre classic.
