Like Like The The The Death Cave Jenny Like Like The The The Death (we'll just go with LLTTTD, since it's easier to type) are noisy like Jehu, catchy like Superchunk, and have a ridiculous nonsense name like the Archers, and they just recorded a record called Cave Jenny that wraps 'em up in a tight little ball of antimatter and blasts them through reality into the present and beyond. Twin guit-slingers Anthony Weber and Michael Marchant handle their instruments like beekeeper field recordings, while Weber and bassist Kyle Scheuer try to out-shout each other on “Here Comes Irregular,” the opening salvo in Cave Jenny's half-hour game of noise-rock tag. It's your classic “one dude screams and one dude kinda sings sorta” formula that scoops some sugar in with the medicine, adding enough pop candy to the mix to make the whole concoction as addictive as a bag of Sour Patch Kids. Meanwhile, drummer Dan Hanke keeps things chugging full force with clockwork precision (the dude did spend the last year holding down the throne behind Die Kreuzen's kit between Eric Tunison's flights into the country for shows, ya know).

Select Reviews “Weber and Scheuer provide the perfect balance of screamy/singy vocals on Ghosts Of Dead Bros, a high-energy collection of indie that treads that precarious high wire between noise and pop. If that’s not compelling enough, LLTTTD managed to squeeze out a power-pop diamond in the mandatory sing-along “Holy Ghosty.” - A.V. Club “Like Like The The The Death (let’s just use LLTTTD from here on in, eh?) was EXCELLENT. This is a tight, TIGHT band that deals heavily in hooks and methodically-contained chaos, spin-cycle drumbeats, vocal tradeoffs that often sound like a squabble inside of a Cretaceous aviary, and all of this comes together in a sound that is both as urgent and ominous as an air-raid siren. IT’S GREAT ROCK AND ROLL...Here’s the thing: LLTTTD have a Trojan Horse of a track called “Holy Ghostly” that is a pure pop confection with a soaring chorus, some crisp guitar work, and 90% of the swarf removed. It’s a warm weather, drive-around-with-the-top-down kind of song. “Holy Ghostly” should be the Song Of The Summer in Milwaukee and everywhere else. - Stripwax

“LLTTTD adopted its supremely awkward name from the title of a Silver Jews song. If one squints sideways and rationalizes things enough, the song could almost be considered a blueprint for this Milwaukee band: disjointed guitars, motorik drums, and absurdist, world-weary vocals. But the similarities stop there as soon as LLTTTD cranks up the tempo, dissonance, and fuzz, injecting elements of hardcore, art-noise, and, yes, pop. - Toeleven.net
