Voices are raised, money is donated and a great deal of lip service is paid to love of country: “you can’t tread on us,” and “I’d die to keep us free.” Militia members who weeks ago would have shot a federal agent if he came within miles of their homes are embracing those same agents in a common cause - the anger and hatred of those who would cause harm to the United States.

Chicago-based record company Touch and Go Records may have become one of the luckiest labels recently when it obtained Quasi. The band, a two-piece outfit consisting of Sam Coomes (Elliott Smith) and Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney) has put the finishing touches on its brilliant sound with its latest. Their voices match perfectly with one another, and although Coomes provides his voice more than Weiss, they both rise to occasion when necessary. “A Case of No Way Out” is a loud, droning number which, if you listen carefully, contains an eerie and beautiful string pattern beneath the fuzz. “The Curse of Having it All” lets Weiss drip out some low-key vocals with some decent range while “Seal The Deal” is a catchy song that marries a distorted bass line with an effective tickling of the ivories on an organ and features some solid percussion work.
