...Mercedes were formed from the breakup of indie-rock band Braid; in fact, but for the swapping of one guitarist, the line-up remains exactly the same. Their sound has changed just as little, so anyone who used to swoon or mosh to Braid can look forward to further bruised foreheads under Mercedes’ aegis. The songs on Everynight Fire Works are so solid and businesslike that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between them (at least for the uninitiated): The album is a barrage of dentist-drill distorted guitars marshalled by driving drums that border on militaristic...
That was the spirit building in New York and Washington and all across the country, faith and fear and resolve in a tight braid. Because the killers who hate us did the unthinkable, nothing is unthinkable now. A plume of grill smoke venting from a Manhattan steak house leads to the evacuation of midtown office towers. Does every unclaimed package tick? After the Pentagon was hit, generals called their families and told them not to drink the water, it could be poisoned. Sales of guns and gas masks spiked.

The band is pushing its new album, No Strings Attached, which is due to be released this week after a four-month delay caused by a $150 million lawsuit filed by Louis J. Pearlman--the Svengali who put together 'N Sync, the Backstreet Boys and LFO--after 'N Sync tried to leave him. They settled...
...music, it was spirited, tuneful and just about varied enough to prevent restlessness. Braid-bearded Jeremy managed to create enough sound with a single guitar to produce faithful replications of the radio hits, including the slower-tempo "Miserable," their latest single. The group did away with "My Own Worst Enemy" midway through the playlist, and, to give credit to the other songs, it didn't stand out as a particularly superior track...
