Christian Schaefer Featured this album on the seventh issue of RULE of THREE (bit.ly/RULEofTHREEbc). Rites and Rituals is an instant classic paying respect to 80's post-punk bands from Chameleons to Gene Loves Jezebel with a modern twist and stand-out vocals. Gallows Hill is a perfect mix of 80's nostalgia, modern post-punk and - dare I say it - pop. Favorite track: Gallows Hill.

Futureman 'Rites and Rituals' is to The Cure what Interpol's 'Turn on the Bright Lights' was to Joy Division. For those who like darkness and dancing, here you go. Favorite track: Burnt Offerings.

Kostyn This album is absolutely phenomenal. TRAITRS is a contemporary incarnation of post-punk and goth rock that I can sit and listen to anytime, anywhere, and be utterly blown away. I egarly await future releases.

Shaunb Fab stuff. Nuff said. Favorite track: Youth Cults.

Eve McGivern This has a rich and powerful dark 80s sound akin to bands like And Also the Trees, Pornography-era Cure, Pink Turns Blue, early Modern English, and the Lucy Show. They remind me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Favorite track: Youth Cults.

johnboymike Awesome 80s influenced music. Think The cure, bauhaus, The Smiths , and maybe even Joy Division but not so influenced that they don't have a sound of their own. Grab this if you miss the early 80's Favorite track: Youth Cults.

about

The debut release from Toronto's Traitrs is a bleak journey that touches on the dark post-punk of The Cure and Bauhaus. The album is dark and laborious, yet refreshingly so; there are no glossy fairy tales here, instead we are left to consider the painfully cumbersome reality of the human existence.
