TUBERCULOSIS


Any readers who pay even a little bit of attention to Terminal Escape have likely picked up on my affinity for a certain crop of bands in Los Angeles, and TUBERCULOSIS is the seed that is helping that crop grow.  These kids are positive, active, cooperatively minded and punk as shit...plus, their bands rule.  When was the last time you heard a woman introduce a song about masturbating on public transit and manage to make it sound intense and serious instead of funny (I mean, it is kinda funny, but it never comes off that way).  Ultra raw hardcore punk in Spanish and English recorded live and it sounds so fresh and vibrant, even though they are playing a style we have all heard before. TB members form the nucleus of Silenzio Statico and run a tape label and distro, audio/video zine, info shop/record store AND they put on shows in East LA and South Central.  Get this tape, then go back and get POLISKITZO if you neglected to do so last week...shit rules.
