"Dope Starts Inc." - "10,000 Watts of Artificial Pleasures " @ Score! Music Magazine

	Dope Starts Inc. - 10,000 Watts of Artificial Pleasures
	Location	Italy
	Initial Impression	The Website's headline is "DropDeadGorgeousProzacAddicted" and it (as well as the EP sleeve) says in bold lettering: "GET ADDICTED".
Notable Lyric	"Salvation, damnation/I'm going down I'm just a whore/And baby don't ask me why/I've just sold my soul."
Factoid	The EP was self-produced and the band are, as of now, unsigned.
Serve With	A well-stocked wardrobe of pleather, strobes, and your choice of party drug.
Comments	This Italian quartet unleash some hyper electro-goth-trash-rock with some real industrial influences on their debut six-song EP full of self-described "Audio Porn" (these guys are good with the shock-descriptions, no?) that's in the vein of Gravity Kills, Marilyn Manson, and Orgy, as well as industrial metalers KMFDM and Skinny Puppy. The offerings on this EP are full of driving, frenetic synth beats and are highly danceable, beckoning one to freak out along with the insane sonic assault. Just check out the opening title track or "Self Destructive Corp." for a taste. The slower finale, "Generation Plastic", (a real departure from the rest of the EP) recalls Orgy - everything from the music and tempo to Victor's vocals that sound eerily like those of Orgy's Jay Gordon. Also included is an interesting take on Billy Idol's "Shock to the System".
