My best effort to describe this work of the devil channeled by some St. Louis, Missouri dude is this: An overabundance of stupid demented shit condensed into fun little garage tunes in the vague neighbourhood of Buck Biloxi, Strange Attractor or, alternately, Dead Moon & The Dead Milkmen, maybe with some Wild Man Fisher thrown in for good measure. I think i'm just about dumb enough to appreciate that!
Album-Stream →Just another quick roundup of noises and disturbances out of the extended hardcore orbit. Starting off the batch with Sex Hater of Kansas City, who will surely please admirers of chaotic and downright filthy hardcore shit in a similar vein to groups á la Total Sham, Fried E/m or Launcher.
Speaking of filth, Clinic from Fresno, California dial that certain aspect even further - their latest EP feeling like one single murky puddle of primitive anger and deep despair, not entirely dissimilar in some places to the early Beast Fiend EPs.
pH People, a group of unknown origin, then slow the tempo down considerybly while by no means lacking energy - their tape on Urticaria Records is a potent mixture from the fringes of harcore punk and (proto-) noise rock with clear echoes of mostly older stuff á la Flipper, Spike In Vain, Noxious Fumes or Broken Talent.
And lastly, there's one for the dungeon dwellers among us in the form of Philadelphia's Alien Birth who deliver an oldschool metal-infested beast kinda like a mix between a more primitive Poison Ruïn and Golden Pelicans going all in on their sleaze rock leanings.

Fuck, there's been way too much awesome music lately so a C-90 wouldn't suffice and Verspannungskassette #47 has to be another double feature. Well it's almost fucking christmas time anyway so for the occasion i'm picking the finest second hand garbage tape out of my cassette dump and even pull out a NOS sealed BASF thingy… you get older, you need such luxury.
So let's get this shit over with, starting off with a special announcement courtesey of Klint that hopefully makes you wanna listen to 12XU Radio as much as 12XU Radio hopefully makes you wanna listen to Klint. All the roughest shit is on side a. For your prescribed dose of garage punk go straight to side b. Noise rock and gloomy post punk to make you wanna jump off a bridge on side c. Melodic punk and power pop to restore your sanity on side d.

Great fun as always, the newest EP by Italy's Shitty Life on which they once again infuse their garage punk with tons of hardcore speed and energy (or vice versa), making for another straightforward no-frills attack that will surely please sympathizers of acts á la Crisis Man, Dadar, Gluer or Easers.
