An incredible debut by some NYC group, oscillating somewhere around the rough parameters of hardcore, fuzz-, art- and post punk. Not least because of these psychedelic synth stylings i can’t help but think of the hallucinogenic cowpunk nightmares of another awesome New York City act, Murderer, while in their mellower and catchier moments this surely has a similar quality to past-decade fuzz punk greats á la Feature or Slowcoaches.

Having already made a bit of a splash with last year’s quite promising debut EP, this group based in Madrid, Spain follows up with an even stronger 4-track EP, starting out with a pair of simple and undiluted punk attacks in some kind of hardcore-meets-post-punk mode followed by the melodic punk rock of Quiero Ser Olvidado and the crowning closing track La Luz, a perfect example of propulsive post punk operating roughly in the oldschool Criminal Code and Sievehead mould. More of this shit, please!

Another neat little cassette of moderately egg-related insanity comes our way from this Madrid group, operating in a nebulous zone somewhere inbetween the worlds of garage punk and spaced-out melodic fuzz punk, spiced up with quite a bit of surf rock twang and some dense psychedelic haze. All in all i’d say this shit successfuly combines some of the best traits of acts like Beta Máximo, Beer, Pringue and Prison Affair into a cohesive whole.
