The (International) Noise Conspiracy - The First Conspiracy (1999)

The (International) Noise Conspiracy are a Swedish garage rock band.  What would garner them the most attention is the simple fact that this is Dennis Lyxzen's band after the break-up of Refused.  For Lyxzen, this is a subdued form of rock n' roll than he's used to playing.  Refused played hardcore punk with tinges of metal.  The majority of Lyxzen's vocals were screamed at a high pitch.  This is a complete 180 degree turn for him.  (International) Noise conspiracy play a mix of rock and punk and sing about girls, love and politics (affirming their left-wing stance).  Lyxzen no longer screams as many of his vocals are clean.  It was strange to hear the first time around.  All in all, this wasn't a bad first album from these guys; things only got better as they progressed and became more comfortable in their sound.  More (I)NC to follow!
