Persher - Sleep Well

This totally slaps. Really refreshing & weird sounds. Reminds me of James Plotkin (Khanate, Scorn, Old) especially the later era Earache Old proggy & art-punk stuff then also NZ groups like the Unsanitary Napkin offshoot Displeasure. Really fun. Other reviews suck. Metalheads don't get it. Let them rot in the soup.

Absolute belter. His most pummeling album yet. Unrelenting & brutalist beat-driven noise the whole way through. Very fun as always too though. Nothing out there quite like his brand of harsh, dialed into the red techno sounds. One of my top releases for 2024 easily!

An artist I had often overlooked until this release . But I'm glad I delved in because this album is a magically crafted journey which I've had on repeat regularly.

Great rawpunk/crust LP. Rocks way harder than I thought it would. The songs are great and don't drag on too long. With this genre often the guitars bury the drums but here everything is produced just right. Guitar riffs like Deviated Instinct meets Inepsy in some parts. A total sweet-spot tone for this ugly brand of punk & the drums pack the perfect punch. The low-end death-metal vocals don't always work or fit entirely & the Misfits cover is a miss but other than that ... read more

NR

Massively under-appreciated noise/avant-garde sophomore LP from Flux. Abandoning the prior anarcho-punk convention of their classic debut to favour more of an experimental, unbridled & furious approach to their righteous raging against societies many injustices. The unapologetic & in-your-face art-brut trans cover art is brilliantly confrontational also.

Excellent raging French D-beat in the vein of classic Scandi-punk/hardcore like Skitkids or unavoidable obvious sonic comparisons to Totalitar. Just absolute raw fun hardcore energy from beginning to end.
