SIDE A

 

These are the things you find when you just.....look. I wish I had some history, but my guess is that was a pop group being marketed by a would-be music business entrepreneur from Oakland. Or mayhaps it was just a bootleg. Either way, we're left with 86 minutes of Filipino pop. No one needs twenty-one songs on a commercial pop cassette, especially when the eighteenth and nineteenth tracks are the only potential hits. There's a really (really) small audience here, but to those readers......keep digging.

SIDE A

WAVE OF NOISE

 

Continuing on a theme....a total hyper-crust assault in four movements. DISCHARGE worship from SKITSÖFRENIA. Ferocious street punk from INCRUST. Clenched fist '90s crust from DISGRACE. Apocalypse fastcore/crust mania from DISTRUST. Singapore meets Malaysia, and DIY punk still rules. 

WAVE OF NOISE
Seriously though, the DISTRUST tracks are next level. 
You're welcome.

ZUDAS KRUST // CONFLITTO

 

Shoelace headband crust assault at its finest - nine minutes of blistering sonic devastation in your earholes. 
All eyes upon Papua.

CONFLITTO // ZUDAS KRUST

HEAVY COMFORTER

 

Gloriously sinister synth driven hyper punk from Tennessee. We're talking infectious Reatard caliber hooks, '90s Rip-Off energy and PHANTOM LIMBS mystique all supercharged and hyped beyond description. Listen to the (backing) vocals in "Unholy Armistice" and know that punk rules, ok?

IRON RATIONS

BACOT!

 

The band name translates into English as something like "shut up" but I want to BACOT! to do anything but. We're talking top notch early 2000s early 1980s worship - Indonesian hardcore with a serious penchant for SoCal punk and an indescribable ability to make eye-rollingly generic hooks seem like they belong....because they do indeed belong.

GLICH

 

If you wondered whether of not the razor sharp hardcore of the early 2010s was going to stick - look no further than Indonesia's GLICH. Piercing buzzsaw guitars, howling vocals drenched in reverb, arm swinging mid paced moshes that slow to deadly lurches before launching into heart stopping DBeat-as-USHC riffs. Sinister, scowling, dangerous hardcore from 2025; "Safe Means All" on repeat all damn day. 

NO SILENCE LEFT
