Winnipeg's Conduct hit me like a suckerpunch. Fear and Desire seems to come out of nowhere and floored me upon first listen. With a hefty pedigree behind it (an American record label and the legendary noise-monger Steve Albini behind the boards), this band is poised for something huge. Conduct are a behemoth of sound, mixing part of noise-rock, post-punk and industrial into their wall of sludge. The songs are alternately brutally short to punishingly long. This band demands you to pay attention to them, and you will until Fear and Desire ends, and your brain feels like it's been pulverized to powder.
