Description

Firmly rooted in the DIY punk ethic, the group’s debut album “Cuts” at the start of the year already provided a glimpse of further developments from the bracing bursts, wailed at your face, of their early post-hardcore sound to slightly less crumbling atmospheres, darker and more brooding, albeit not less intense and energetic, the guitars are still serrated, but angular and morose, the bass pulse ominously in the foreground, a visceral and minimalistic brand of post-punk informed by all the gripping tension and the urgency of late 70’s bands like Crisis and Warsaw and more recently Diät, Hexdebt and Marble Eye.
