Artist of the Day: Tile

"Pissed off feedback rants from PA," is the header on the website of Allentown's Tile. The noisy rock band hails from an area usually associated with lighter, emotional music, but Tile is the complete opposite. On their debut album, You Had A Friend In Pennsylvania, the band lays down heavy, sludge-laden rock, coated with aggressive vocals. It's a heavy album, with influences from 80's punk and hardcore and is unforgivably combative.
