Adorning the cover of Six Flags Guy’s debut album, And Nothing Did So What, is a warehouse on fire. Some stumble over to watch with passive amusement before wandering off unphased. Over eight tracks, the Ohio post-rock band captures this disparate tone, one that contains cataclysm within numbness and feigned apathy. From the noisy opener “John Wayne” to the exhausted aggression of “RJ Dreams of a Blackwater Mercenary Contract” to the final explosion of emotion on the epic closer “Work Song,” Six Flags Guy comes through with a project writhe with frustration, wild dynamics, and much-needed catharsis. And Nothing Did So What is the sound of a band with something to say, an impressive first showing from newcomers on the rise.

“The album’s eight songs wander through smoky, dingy soundscapes unmoored from recognizable structure, with subtle vocals and guitar work both ready to launch into a frenzy of noise at any given moment… Every song on And Nothing Did So What feels like a journey” — Rosy Overdrive
