 THE CINEMA EYE - A COMPLETE ARSENAL 12" (sound virus) "this columbus, ohio quartet takes the best of 80’s new wave and combines it with hints of classic hair-metal to create the dynamic tempo fluctuations, irresistibly danceable harmonies, and crunching guitar bends that characterize this record. synth-based, melody driven bass lines and catchy modulated keyboards swarm beneath the surface of fierce, grating guitars and drums, brought together by the powerfully evocative female vocals. this is the cinema eye's follow up to their split 10"/cd with audion that was released on sound virus in early 2003. this recording is still filled with hooks but makes more of an attempt to possibly merging the worlds of such bands like sleater kinney with milemarker or camera obscura, making the cinema eye's sound relentless rock and roll as told by missing persons."
