With “Grinding The Knife Blade,” Goes Cube have deviated from their more customary song titling approach — see “Song 57,” Song 46,” “Song 30” — creating one of only a few of their tracks that doesn’t include the word “song” or a numerical designation. Congratulations, sirs. It’s also our first taste of the New York trio’s forthcoming 13-track Another Day Has Passed, their first full-length for new label home The End. Even with the new titling approach, they haven’t shifted the unpretentious hard rock, a catchy, heavy, angular and knotty sound more than suitable for fans of Torche, Foo Fighters, Big Business, Unwound, etc. Or, well, fans of Goes Cube.
