This band shared my split with Grimmness via Facebook a few weeks ago, and I've been meaning to reciprocate for a while. I figured I'd share it here so I can write a little more than I would on Facebook. I don't know much about this band, but they play raw punk that kind of reminds me of mid-80's UK hardcore (if anyone remembers the "Grind Your Mind" compilation that came out about ten years ago, think disc one of that). It's mostly angry mid-paced punk, with a few touches of crust and pv thrown in around the edges, and lyrics that mostly stay in snark mode. If you like the sort of thing that Static Shock/Quality Control/Katorga Works put out, or if you're the type of person who regularly spends their evenings trawling blogs for cryptic Japanese hardcore demos, you'll probably get a kick out of this thing.
