ICONOCLAST


Shouldn't really need an introduction today, as ICONOCLAST should already be on your radar...but I'm here just in case. Screaming bare bones 1983 hardcore punk drawing from DISCHARGE, CRUCIFIX without ever completely abandoning snotty Southern California punk (it's the inclusion of that last element that makes them so crucial to my ears). Buzzsaw guitars, vocals that personify teen angst from the land of the Valley Girl....and in the time of Valley Girl, the angst is not hard to imagine. Lyrics follow the DIS-themes of war, death, injustice and general destruction, and "Death Race" is the best song I will listen to today.
